Dr. Rachel Sims LPC, CSC

Are you a single looking how NOT to re-create the wheel of your dating past? Maybe in a relationship but wanting more tools to make it work? Life is about change, and some changes are more difficult to navigate than others. When we are stressed, anxious, or depressed, it is a sign that our lives are out of balance. My focus is on providing a safe, supportive, non-judgmental and compassionate space for adults, couples, and families to share their experiences and help navigate through some more difficult life changes [positive or negative]; to create more balance in your life. I enjoy working with clients motivated to make changes to improve their lives and find purpose and meaningful fulfillment. I believe in attachment theory and how it affects our daily lives and our day-to-day interactions with ourselves as well. I have a great Dating Relationship Myths Book on Amazon "Are you love smart or love stupid?" that is going to help you navigate all that terrible dating and relationship advice you have gotten over the years! I run a great Instagram with free resources at @uncomplicatedtherapy talking more about this. Attachment theory is my JAM, You can take a free attachment style Quiz there as well to find out your style. I received a Masters's in Counseling and Guidance in 2015 from Texas A&M University- Kingsville. I have my Doctoral Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. I am a life-long learner, which means I am dedicated to discovering and mastering therapeutic practices and interventions to make me a better counselor for you. I have more than 8 years of experience working with a range of people experiencing anxiety, relationship issues, self-love, career and life transitions, and family conflict. I believe in creating skills for effective coping mechanisms for overall wellness. Deciding to engage in therapy can be overwhelming. Finding a therapist whose personality and style is a good fit is important. I see the client/patient as the expert in your life with unique values and needs. I look forward to helping those effectively pursue their values and explore what keeps them from being the best version of themselves... “You have the power to heal your life, and you need to know that. We think so often that we are helpless, but we’re not. We always have the power of our minds… Claim and consciously use your power.” – Louise Hay
