Hi, I’m India Simms.
I bring a unique perspective as both a practicing therapist and a business coach. I am the Clinical Director and owner of The Haven Center for Therapy, a thriving private practice serving clients in Washington, D.C., and Maryland.
Originally from Cleveland, Ohio, I am a proud 4th-generation HBCU graduate. I earned my Bachelor's degree in Sociology from Hampton University and my Master's degree in Couples & Family Therapy from the University of Maryland. For the past 15 years, I’ve called Maryland home, building my career while embracing my roles as a wife and mother of two.
In my therapy practice, I specialize in relational and sexual health, drawing on Gottman and Emotionally Focused Therapy to help individuals and couples navigate challenges and deepen connection. I am a Board-Approved MFT Supervisor, certified by the Maryland Board of Professional Counselors and Therapists, and a Certified Sexologist recognized by the American Board of Sexology. My clinical experience spans diverse settings, from inpatient psychiatric care to treating combat trauma and military sexual trauma among veterans.
As a business coach, I leverage my expertise as a therapist and entrepreneur to help clinicians and service-based professionals build impactful, sustainable businesses. I understand the challenges of balancing clinical work with business operations and offer guidance on scaling practices, optimizing workflows, and achieving meaningful growth.
Whether I’m working with clients in therapy or coaching entrepreneurs to thrive, my mission is to help others unlock their potential and create fulfilling, purpose-driven lives. Let’s build something extraordinary together!
