Amina Simmons
About
Welcome! My name is Dr. Amina Simmons but most people just call me Dr. A. I'm a Licensed Psychologist specializing in adult mental health, women’s wellness, and life transitions across all PSYPACT states. With me, you remain in the driver's seat to decide whether to focus on behavioral growth, understanding the roots of relational patterns, or balancing both. My commitment is to walk out this process with you in a supportive, collaborative space. Even when life feels overwhelming, I belief you have 'enough for today.'
So many people today are searching for a deeper understanding of themselves, but navigating the sea of clinical terms and online self-diagnoses can feel overwhelming. I was drawn to this specialty to help clients move past the noise and find real, meaningful clarity. My approach combines diagnostic rigor with a deep expertise in complex trauma and love for human connection. I don't treat assessment as a rigid checklist, but as a collaborative exploration—helping you uncover what is truly happening beneath the surface so you can move forward with confidence and practical guidance.
My approach is grounded in compassion, respect, and deep affirmation of who you are. Instead of focusing solely on challenges or symptoms, we will identify and leverage your existing strengths to build a path forward that feels effective for you. As a Black woman and LGBTQ+ therapist, I am deeply attuned to how culture, identity, and systemic factors shape our daily lives. I strive to create a brave and grounded space where clients feel seen, celebrated, and supported as they step into their full potential.
