This company uses Doxy.me for sessions, which requires certain technological capabilities such as a webcam and reliable internet. Please review the Doxy.me system requirements to ensure your setup meets the minimum requirements.

First, call the company number to speak with the counselor. You may leave a message with your Name, Phone Number, and a brief Description of why you are seeking counseling and I will return your call and perform a free 15-minute "Screen For Fit".

The Screen For Fit determines if I am able to help you and if we are a good fit. If not, I will provide resources. If yes, we will review fees and technology requirements, and schedule your first appointment. Paperwork can be printed or completed electronically. If you decide not to proceed, simply notify me and your information will be deleted.

All first sessions are via Doxy.me video call. Go to doxy.me/ashleysims, enter your name, and click "Check In". Test your audio/video if desired. I will start the call, collect payment, review intake paperwork, complete an assessment, and provide homework. Follow-up sessions may be video or phone calls.

All subsequent sessions focus on symptom reduction and improving quality of life. We discuss goals, apply techniques, and review homework. Christian-based sessions may include prayer or scripture reading.

As therapy progresses, session frequency may reduce. We will review goals, coping mechanisms, and discuss ending therapy. Records are retained for 7 years, but you may request copies or transfers to another therapist. Your contact information is deleted within 24 hours of the final session. If you return for therapy later, you will need to complete intake paperwork again.
