I focus on helping clients manage symptoms, gain insight, and improve their quality of life through evidence-based care, supportive therapy, and psychoeducation.
I earned my Master’s in Nursing from Walden University, where I built a foundation in evidence-based psychiatric care. My approach includes psychopharmacologic management, supportive therapy, and psychoeducation to help clients develop resilience, stability, and improved mental well-being.
With empathy and understanding, I provide personalized, compassionate care tailored to each client’s needs. Whether addressing mood disorders or other mental health concerns, I am committed to partnering with clients on their path toward healing and long-term wellness.

My name is Barbara Sims-King. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Pastoral Counselor with over 20 years of experience. I have success working with those who are suffering from the effects of depression, anxiety, anger, trauma and grief. My current focus is with men aged 18 and up gaining emotional insight to life's challenges. When life gets the "better" of us, it may appear that life has won the fight and we have lost. Life is not the enemy, life is just life and as a counselor, I find that my job is to lift up hope as a beacon light to those seeming to be floundering in a sea of circumstances. The light comes with encouragement, support, and an unfailing belief in the good of humankind. Let me join you on the journey to healing, towards a celebration of your life.

Marriage counseling, also known as couples therapy and relationship counseling, helps couples work through their specific relationship issues. Thriveworks marriage counseling in Atlanta, GA is led by licensed professionals — often licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFTs) — who are experts in their field and best-equipped to help couples. Some examples of common focuses within Marriage counseling include:
Marriage counseling works by helping couples identify and better navigate their unique challenges. Following an initial assessment of the couple in terms of strengths and needs, the therapist would then discuss their therapeutic goals and any possible approaches or ways of working together as therapist and couple.Couples attend sessions together, whether they meet in person or by video. In addition to regular marriage counseling sessions, each partner may also be asked to attend a few individual sessions to supplement their progress. This will allow their counselor to get to know each individual better, assess each of their personal needs, and develop the very best treatment plan moving forward.
Marriage counseling at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you and your partner.
On average, couples attend marriage counseling for 12 weeks. However, marriage counseling may last longer or shorter, dependent on the couples’ needs, the challenges they’d like to work through, and the pace of their progress. Marriage counselors and therapists at Thriveworks in Atlanta, GA work with their clients to create goals, decide on ideal timelines, and establish treatment plans.
Sadly, many think that marriage counseling is only to be utilized as a last resort; or, that deciding to work with a marriage counselor is equal to announcing that your marriage is a failure. These are false beliefs, as marriage counseling is for any and every couple that’s interested in improving their relationship—in any capacity. Therefore, it’s for those who are struggling with very serious relationship issues as well as those who have relatively small problems but would like to work with a relationship expert anyhow.
