Getting to know Dr. Chad Sims
Hi, I'm a Licensed Clinical Psychologist based in Virginia with a PhD in Counseling Psychology from Ball State University. As a therapist, I am dedicated to providing compassionate, client-centered care that fosters personal growth and well-being. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Humanistic, culturally sensitive, and trauma-informed approaches to address a wide range of mental health issues. I am committed to creating a safe, non-judgmental environment where clients from diverse backgrounds feel understood and valued. My practice focuses on helping individuals develop practical strategies to manage anxiety, depression, and other challenges, while continuously adapting treatment plans to meet their unique needs and therapeutic goals.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
