About Vickey Simmons-Hart, LPC, NCC

Vickey Simmons-Hart

Proud Featured Provider

✨ Therapy for Black Girls

Healing Through Connection, Culture, and Science

I'm Vickey Simmons-Hart, a proud Arizona native, lifelong learner, and deeply curious human who believes in the power of healing through connection, culture, and science. Before becoming a licensed professional counselor (LPC), I spent years as an educator, adult learning specialist, and advocate — roles that shaped my approach to therapy as both a teacher and student of the human experience.

With advanced training in trauma modalities like EMDR, Brainspotting, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and somatic work, I bring a holistic, evidence-based lens to every session. But I'm not just a clinician — I'm also an entrepreneur, storyteller, and community-rooted woman who understands the complexities of holding space for others while trying to heal yourself.

Inclusive Mental Wellness is the result of both lived experience and clinical intention. It's a space where Black folks, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and anyone carrying the weight of survival can lay it down — even for a moment — and be seen as whole.

Who I Work With

I work with teens, young adults, and adults of all genders — including women, men, nonbinary, and transgender individuals. My practice affirms all races, nationalities, ethnicities, and backgrounds, with a particular focus on supporting marginalized communities and providing affirming care for neurodivergent folks navigating a world not built for them.

I specialize in supporting people who are:

  • Healing from trauma, abuse, neglect, or racial trauma
  • Survivors of sexual assault
  • Navigating identity, sexuality, or gender exploration
  • In consensually non-monogamous or ethically non-monogamous relationships
  • Experiencing burnout or high-functioning exhaustion
  • Sex workers seeking judgment-free, affirming support

If you've ever felt like you had to hide parts of yourself in therapy, this space is different. All of you is welcome here.
