Get to Know Your Specialist

Shelley Sims, AMFT is an associate clinician with our Behavioral Health – Mental Health Therapy department at our Westside clinic in the basement. She sees clients for a variety of needs including but not limited to anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, personal relationships, and more.  

 She works hard to listen to the client’s experiences. Shelley “wants our time together to be healing and I use modalities individualized to the client and their family’s needs. I specialize in working with the individual, but I love working in deepening and enriching marriages.” When asked about the work she does, Shelley told us that I have a strong belief in client-centered therapy, knowing that you are your own best expert. I will provide you with a safe and consistent environment to work with you on your individual goals, finding emotional wellness, and working towards your best self. 

Shelley can help a client work through challenges that involve trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationships, and much more. “Therapy is the first step in finally letting go of the struggle and stepping into a life that makes you feel more at peace. I approach therapy as a partnership and work to create an experience that is supportive, collaborative, and individualized to meet your needs.” Shelley believes therapy is a no-judgment zone. She will work together with a client to build a therapeutic relationship and develop a treatment plan to address their needs. During treatment, she will integrate Experiential Therapy, DBT, CBT, Internal Family Systems Therapy, and EFT to help clients learn skills to manage challenges and maintain progress. 

Shelley grew up in Clearfield, UT and she and her husband have two boys and a fluffy long-haired Chihuahua – Luna, which she loves to spend time with. Her happy place is in the sunshine, being outside by a body of water. For entertainment, Shelley likes comedies or action movies, nineties rock or country music, and self-help books or books with surprise endings like John Grisham. She enjoys art, music, and traveling.
