Suzette Stokes Sims, Ph.D. Licensed Psychologist

Have you thought counseling might help you or someone you care about? Are you struggling in your marriage? Could you use some assistance with your children or your teen? Have you been feeling down, tired, or depressed? Feeling stressed or anxious? Coping with loss after loss? Have relationship issues? Need direction with your career? Counseling may help you gain insight into your situation and discover a new solution.

I have experience treating a diverse range of concerns including, but not limited to, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, behavior problems, adjustment issues, grief/loss issues, and parenting concerns. I work with couples and individuals. I also provide Christian counseling to those who prefer it. I am also available to speak to groups and teach them about the various issues that lead to the need for counseling services.

I desire to help bring light into the lives of others and I see myself as a tool to be used in order to help others live richer, more meaningful lives. I look forward to the opportunity to meet with you.  

You may reach me at 610-363-2088 ext. 1.

The Serenity Prayer: “God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; the courage to change the things I can; and the wisdom to know the difference.” (Reinhold Niebuhr)

I believe that life is full of dialectics (two opposing truths) that need to be accepted and balanced in one’s life to maintain a harmony between peace of mind, peace of heart and peace within relationships. In my role as a therapist, I help my clients help themselves to achieve or to restore this balance. My therapeutic approach is eclectic and it incorporates: Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT), Reality Therapy’s Choice Theory, and Emotion-Focused Couples Therapy. These evidence-based theories help to decrease negative emotions and restore harmony within relationships. I have experience working with children (10 years and older), adolescents, adults, and couples. I help people who are trying to decrease symptoms of Depression, Anxiety, Bipolar Disorder, and other mood disorders; I also treat clients with Borderline Personality Disorder, Co-Occurring Disorders, Substance Use Disorders, Adjustment Disorders, Grief/Loss issues including separation/divorce. If you are seeking Christian Counseling, I have experience helping clients who like to emphasize incorporating their faith into their treatment. Over the past 7 years, I have aimed at providing a therapeutic experience that exudes an unconditional positive regard and non-judgmental energy within each session, where my clients will feel the freedom to explore their various emotional challenges and I aim at collaboratively setting goals with the hopes of helping them restore their personal serenity.

People seek therapy for many different reasons. Whether you are dealing with a particular crisis or simply want to know more about yourself, therapy can lead to a better understanding of who you are and what has shaped you. Through these discoveries, therapy can allow you to identify old patterns with new and healthier behaviors.  As a Licensed Professional Counselor with more than 10 years of experience, my passion is to help each client find relief from distress and to overcome obstacles that interfere with a satisfying, fulfilling life. A key ingredient to successful therapy is forming a trusting, comfortable relationship with your therapist. In a supportive, reliable, non-judgmental setting, together we can find solutions and strategies for transformation, as well as explore deeper causes of behaviors and emotions.I provide therapy to individuals and couples who are struggling with anxiety, depression, grief and loss, life transitions, relationship problems, family issues and trauma. I tailor my approach to the needs of the client by using techniques of mindfulness and through relational, insight-oriented, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). By using a multi-faceted approach, I help clients explore the present, the past and the future. It is my goal and commitment as a therapist to help clients gain practical tools and the skills to manage life issues independently.

All appointments are Telehealth/virtual.
