MY
PRACTICE
PHILOSOPHY

Marcella Sims
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Life transitions often bring significant changes, yet they can also leave us feeling unseen and unsupported. Whether you’re starting college, becoming a parent, navigating relationships, or figuring out how to be an adult, these moments can feel overwhelming and isolating. It’s common to feel like the world expects you to have it all figured out, even as you’re still finding your way. At Still Seen Counseling, I’m here to remind you that you don’t have to navigate these changes alone. Together, we’ll create a space where you are truly seen, heard, and supported as you navigate life’s challenges and embrace growth.
We’ll examine negative thought patterns, core beliefs, relationship dynamics, and past experiences that have shaped who you are today. We’ll work to identify which patterns in your life bring you closer to the life you want to live and the person you want to become. From there, we’ll create a plan to release anything that no longer aligns with that direction.
Regardless of your reason for starting therapy, my goal is to provide an individualized, holistic approach to help you discover the best version of yourself.
My style is laid-back, conversational, and approachable. I enjoy using creativity and humor to explore different approaches, finding what works best for you.
I take a client-centered approach, meaning you’re in the driver’s seat. I won’t tell you what to do, but I will offer observations, ask follow-up questions, and challenge automatic thought processes when needed.
I firmly believe in the healing power of therapy and understand the importance of finding the right match when searching for a therapist. I’d love to help you explore a different way of living—a happier, more authentic way. Reach out today to schedule a 15-minute consultation!
