“EMDR has 100% changed my life for the better. Working with you and participating in EMDR, was like I was finally giving myself permission to be happy. It changed how I see myself and how I see the world around me.” (former client)
“I was extremely skeptical about EMDR. After a few sessions of EMDR I slowly started to realize that I was thinking differently and even reacting to situations in my life differently. Each time we had another session I felt more and more comfortable and confident.” (former client)
“I wish I had received EMDR treatment a long time ago.” (current client)
"I was eager to start EMDR mostly because of how passionate Richelle was about it and its healing abilities and I was not disappointed. Richelle provided a lot of information and safe places before and during my sessions. Since therapy I still have moments where I feel triggered, but I am able to work through them differently and calm myself easier." (current client)

OUR HEALING APPROACH
Who I Am
Richelle Sims, CSW-PIP, LICSW
Outpatient Therapist/Owner
​
As a therapist, I am warm, open, encouraging, and genuine. In my practice, I combine experience, education, and creativity with a sense of humor and a down-to-earth, realistic approach. I work with individuals (adults) no matter their gender, sexuality, or spiritual beliefs.
​
I draw from a variety of evidence-based practices that include Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), The Gottman Method, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), and the Flash Technique to create a tailored approach for each individual or couple and their situation.
I specialize in working with those who have trauma or unprocessed memories. With over 16 years of experience working in the field of trauma, I want to help you find healing. By arrangement, I offer Intensive Trauma Therapy, as well.​
​
I am licensed in South Dakota, Massachusetts, Maine, and Washington D.C.
