Megan Simms is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker who has been practicing as a psychotherapist since 2009. She is a graduate of Shepherd University’s Social Work Program and West Virginia University’s MSW Advanced Standing Program. Megan began her professional career in community mental health, where she worked with individuals of all ages and across a wide range of mental health diagnoses. In 2012, she transitioned into private practice. From 2014 to 2016, she completed post-graduate education at the Washington School of Psychiatry in Washington, DC, earning a certificate in Child and Adolescent Psychodynamic Psychotherapy.

Megan has extensive experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families who struggle with anxiety, depression, grief and loss, post-traumatic stress disorder, and life transitions. She is trained in Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) and enjoys working closely with children and their families to strengthen and improve parent-child relationships. Her therapeutic approach integrates multiple modalities, including Psychodynamic Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Play Therapy (including art and sand play), Mindfulness, Yoga, and PCIT for children ages 2–6.

In addition to her current clinical work, Megan is looking forward to expanding her services to include geriatric clients and providing support to individuals in nursing homes during this important stage of life. When not working with clients, Megan enjoys spending time with her husband, son, and dog. She loves being near the water, exercising, and spending time outdoors.
