HEY!

Meet LaShonda

Hey! I'm LaShonda, owner and clinical director of Sims Counseling & Consulting. I was born and raised in Kentucky, and Louisville is home for me.  I received my Master of Arts degree in Mental Health Counseling with an emphasis in Marriage & Family Therapy from Western Kentucky University. I am a National Certified Counselor, and currently hold professional license in two states; I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in Kentucky and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina.  I enjoy traveling the world and submerging myself into new cultures. For seven years of my life, I lived abroad in Europe and Asia providing counseling and support to the brave men and women of our military. In addition to my clinical training, I am also a certified yoga teacher and mindfulness coach. Outside of the office, I enjoy being present with family, spending countless hours listening to podcast, practicing yoga, spending time in nature, indulging in ALL things self-care, traveling, reading, and dabbling in DIY projects! As a new mom, I enjoy sleep in a whole new way and embrace each and every moment to rest my mind and body. I am so glad that you have taken this first step toward honoring what you need in this moment.
Just BREATHE into the next step, You got this!

HELLO!

Meet Kenya

I’m Kenya and I am so happy to share space with you in this moment. I was born and raised in Louisville, KY or Louisville, Louisville for true natives. I received my graduate degree in Social Work with a specialization in Couples and Family Therapy from the Kent School of Social Work at the University of Louisville. Currently, I am a Certified Social Worker as well as a Marriage and Family Therapy Associate in pursuit of full licensure. As if those two things aren’t special enough, I too, will be a Doctoral Candidate in Spalding University’s inaugural class of Social Work Doctorate Students this Fall! If you haven’t gathered already, I love the opportunity to learn and grow while offering others the permission to do the same. These things are very much a part of my life and the things that make me happy, however, I do give back to myself regularly. I enjoy being around family, friends, and my Yorkie Prince. I love hiking, traveling, reading, and music (especially shower/car karaoke). I don’t know about you, but sitting in my car is also a thing, one of my favorite things actually! I believe that we all deserve great peace and great joy, the light within us depends on it!
Shine on and take care!
