At LifeStance Health, he offers individualized support to clients ages 6 through 64, drawing from more than a decade of experience in psychological assessment and evidence-based interventions. Whether addressing school difficulties, managing ADHD, or navigating anxiety and trauma, Dr. Sims takes a collaborative, strength-based approach to promote resilience and long-term wellbeing. A particular passion for Dr. Sims is working with individuals affected by childhood behavior issues, school avoidance, and ADHD—challenges that often interfere with academic, social, and family functioning. He works closely with children, teens, and their families to uncover the root causes of disruptive behavior or disengagement from school, providing clear, compassionate guidance and actionable tools. By integrating psychological testing with therapeutic approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and faith-based treatment when appropriate, Dr. Sims builds tailored plans that foster growth and restore balance. Dr. Sims also brings specialized experience working with military and veteran populations, as well as individuals connected to the foster care and adoption systems. His expertise in neuropsychological and psychological testing further supports accurate diagnoses and effective, customized treatment strategies. In addition to individual therapy, Dr. Sims offers family therapy and group support for a range of concerns including PTSD, depression, grief, and medical-related psychological distress. Outside of his clinical work, Dr. Sims enjoys playing chess, running, and weight lifting—activities that reflect his belief in discipline, strategy, and holistic wellness.
