About Us

Hello there! A little bit about me....  I completed my undergraduate studies at the University of Florida, where I fell in love with the field of psychology. After that, I went on to earn my Masters of Science in Mental Health Counseling from PBAU, where I honed my skills in helping people overcome life's challenges. I have worked with a wide range of clients, from individuals to couples to families, and I have helped them navigate through a variety of issues.

My approach is warm and down-to-earth, but also professional. I believe that therapy should be a safe and comfortable space where you can be yourself and explore your thoughts and feelings. My therapeutic style is focused on active listening and empathy, as well as a touch of humor when appropriate.

I truly believe that everyone has the capacity for growth and change, and I am committed to helping my clients achieve their goals. I take a client-centered, strength-based approach to counseling.If you are looking for a counselor who is warm, compassionate, and professional, I would love to work with you. Please don't hesitate to reach out.

Dr. Nowakowski-Sims PhD, LCSW, MPH is a clinician, teacher, and empath who incorporates yoga, as a healing strategy, for clients experiencing mood related imbalances. She is a registered yoga teacher-200 and a Lifeforce Yoga® practitioner. She has more than 20 years of clinical experience working with individuals, families, and groups impacted by trauma.  Dr. Nowakowski-Sims’ practice emphasizes the connection between the mind, body, and spirit to transform and grow the higher self and social consciousness through traditional psychotherapy and the practice of yoga. 

While talk therapy is a critical part of the healing process; adding yoga to the experience brings a person back into wholeness. Dr Nowakowski-Sims’ use of yoga in clinical practice facilitates healing by tapping into the deep, interior space in which the mind and heart unite, allowing clients to cope with painful emotions and deepen their relationships with others and with the world around them. 

Dr Nowakowski-Sims is an Associate Professor at the School of Social Work at Barry University and has authored numerous articles and facilitated trainings about movement as an adjunct healing method for persons who have experienced trauma.
