Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Opening Doors
Simi helped during a very difficult period in my life. His caring and insight helped open doors of healing I didn’t know were available. I highly recommend him if you are dealing with trauma of any kind.

He helped me change my life!
Sima helped me when I was going through self esteem issues, financial problems and a host of other issues. He offered tools that helped me cope with my life and set boundaries with the people in it. I love him and thank him for everything!

Don't contact Sima unless you want to get better.
Even in the most destitute of situations we still have a choice in how we choose to live, and getting your shiza together requires a level of honesty you can't even imagine. There's nothing easy realizing no one is coming to save you, let alone feeling the weight of the responsibility to find the missing pieces of yourself in order to put that puzzle back together. Thankfully there are people like Sima to help guide us on that journey. He is extremely astute and kind, but pulls no punches. He will assign you homework and will hold you accountable. He is compassionate, but it will not always feel comfortable, and when you’re ready to graduate, he is willing to send you on your way. To me these are the markings of a great therapist/counselor/guide/mentor. If you want to vent, save your money and call a friend. If you want real change, call Sima. There's no price to pay for peace of mind.

You are worth it.
Do you find yourself in: confusion, uncertainty in yourself, avoidance of people or situations, changes in eating, sleeping, feeling overwhelmed, agitated, low mood, hyper mood, staying overly busy, (and/or writing idiotic reviews because your therapist had a real talk with you) and you couldn’t handle it?! Stillings will treat you the way you want to be treated and treat you with the utmost respect even when you are not showing yourself or others grace. He provides the most comprehensive forum on mental health and more. Get your life back on track and have a growth mindset! Everyone is worth it- show some luv.

Fantastic
Sima is an amazing therapist. He is a straight shooter who helped me through one of the toughest times in my life. He helped me make some very big decisions and talked me through my struggles. If you are looking for someone to help you through a tough time he is your person.

I saw Sima Stillings 3-4 times in mid-2016. Compared to the few other therapists I've worked with in the past, I thought he dominated our conversations/sessions with his opinions and personal experiences. He was very critical; I felt judged and not fully comfortable disclosing thoughts and feelings. Finally he told me that I was using a valuable slot and he had other patients on a waiting list. I felt uncomfortable returning to see him and discontinued therapy.
