Vickey L Simmons-Hart – Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, NCC, MS, MAEd (she, her)

You’ve always been the strong one—but now even holding it together feels like too much. I work with adults navigating trauma, anxiety, identity shifts, sexual shame, or relationship structures outside the norm. My clients—often Black, LGBTQIA+, kink-aligned, or CNM—are seeking a space that honors all of who they are. You don’t want a therapist who pathologizes your truth—you want real healing, deep trust, and lasting freedom. I help you get there, with trauma-informed, affirming, and culturally grounded care. I specialize in anxiety, trauma, and identity-related stress using EMDR, Brainspotting, and an IFS-informed, somatic approach. My work is grounded in post-grad research on the Black Superwoman Schema and rooted in sex-positive, kink-affirming care. Together, we’ll release trauma and build lasting resilience. You don’t have to keep holding it all alone. If you’re exhausted from surviving, unsure how to start healing, or just need someone who truly sees you—I’m here. Therapy doesn’t have to be perfect to be powerful. Wherever you are in your journey, we’ll start there. Let’s walk this together.
