LGBT therapists in Midvale, UT

I'm a wife, mom, stepmom, and grandma who loves spending time with family, being outdoors, and making meaningful memories. I believe that even in life's hardest seasons, peace is possible. I strive to bring that same warmth, hope, and authenticity into every session.

Nice to meet you! I’m Jessica, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over a decade of experience working with adults. Clients often describe me as warm, direct, and easy to talk to.

I specialize in supporting LGBTQIA+ clients and adults navigating anxiety, depression, relationship stress, and major life transitions. My goal is to create a space where you can be fully yourself and feel supported while doing meaningful work.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 26 years of experience taking a holistic approach to healing - helping people move forward in alignment with their deepest knowing and truest self-expression. I believe real healing creates sustainable change and brings more ease and joy to your life.

Besides client session, I also provide clinical supervision to students and prelicensed therapists, and mentoring/consulting to licensed therapists.

I offer in-person services in Eugene, Oregon and telehealth in Oregon, New Mexico, and Utah, and specialize in working with complex trauma, neurodivergent folks, highly sensitive people, LGBTQ+ clients, and anyone seeking to live with more freedom and alignment.

I believe prioritizing mental health is key to happiness and stability in life. Seeking help can be one of the hardest parts, so congratulations on taking that step! I’ve been practicing since 2011. I have worked with many populations and age ranges, I began my own private practice in 2016, where my focus switched primarily from addiction to trauma. I realized that trauma brings on many additional mental health challenges that may be resolved through trauma treatment.

I like to explore modalities with clients that both support and go beyond talk therapy in order to get to the deepest roots of the issues, which tend to lie at the subconscious level.

I’m Amanda, and I became a therapist because I believe everyone deserves a place where they can show up exactly as they are. I bring warmth, authenticity, and even a bit of humor into the room when it feels right. I want you to feel genuinely seen—not judged—and supported in whatever you’re working through.

I’ve been in the counseling field for over 15 years and hold a PhD in Counselor Education from the University of Tennessee. My experience ranges from private practice and telehealth to correctional mental health, hospitals, and leadership roles in community programs. A. Simms Resume copy

I work with adults experiencing mood challenges, anxiety, identity concerns, life transitions, and LGBTQIA+ experiences, as well as individuals who are justice-involved or adjusting to major life changes. My approach integrates CBT, ACT, and Reality Therapy, giving us room to explore both deeper patterns and practical skills.

Clients describe me as encouraging, steady, and real—someone who helps them feel grounded and capable while taking meaningful steps toward a more balanced and authentic life.
