Sicura Simms, M.Ed., LPC
Sicura is currently seeing clients for couples therapy, premarital counseling, and blended family adjustment counseling.
She is available Tuesday & Thursday evenings for in-person sessions, and Monday-Thursday evenings for virtual sessions. She serves clients in Georgia.
Empowering couples is Sicura’s calling! She knows that a strong connection is built by embracing each person’s unique perspective. With Sicura’s guidance, both partners will feel uplifted, listened to, and appreciated. Genuine transformation and growth are possible in the safe and supportive space that she creates. Sicura specializes in bringing together diverse strengths to foster mutual well-being. Additionally, her expertise in assisting blended families in redefining their structures for success is unmatched.
Sicura has been helping people for over two decades, supporting their growth and helping them navigate life’s challenges. Currently, she holds the esteemed position of Mental Health Coordinator for the DeKalb County School District. As a former teacher and school counselor, Sicura has honed her ability to make people feel comfortable and open up to her. Her core value of non-judgment and acceptance serves as an anchor for her clients.
Sicura is a proud stepparent to four children and has had the privilege of living all around the world, immersing herself in diverse cultures and communities. She has a passion for exploring local cuisine and will go to great lengths to indulge in amazing food.
Sicura specializes in using the Gottman method of couples therapy, which involves an in-depth questionnaire for each partner that helps identify areas of strength and growth in the relationship. Armed with this insight and her expertise, Sicura is able to provide tailored interventions to help couples build and maintain successful, fulfilling relationships.
As the great Carl H. Rogers once said, “The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.” Sicura wholeheartedly believes in this philosophy and strives to help her clients embrace self-acceptance and positive change.
