stephanie's Journey of Inspiration and Impact

Stephanie Simms is a trauma-informed Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Certified Gottman Therapist, and consultant whose work operates at the intersection of high performance and psychological resilience. Her professional voice was forged in environments where integrity, presence, and trust were highly impactful.

With more than 20 years of active-duty service in the United States Air Force, Stephanie developed exceptional communication and leadership expertise under sustained pressure. She later refined those skills as a NASA government contractor, supporting mission-critical operations. In both military and aerospace environments, her voice contributed to high-stakes coordination, disciplined communication, and operational excellence.

Stephanie has also spoken on the international stage at the Master Series Trauma Conference in Oxford, England, the largest trauma and mental health conference in Europe—where she addressed over 3,000 mental health advocates and professionals. She later returned as an invited panelist and in a consulting leadership role supporting the conference’s first international trauma informed support team, helping coordinate operations across multiple venues.

Blending operational leadership with trauma-informed clinical expertise, Stephanie integrates relational performance science—including principles derived from decades of evidence-based relationship research—into practical strategies for teams, couples, and high-accountability systems. Her speaking embodies both intellect and emotion, equipping audiences with clear, actionable frameworks for psychological safety, stress regulation, leadership alignment, and resilient connection under pressure.

Whether addressing executive leaders, military communities, clinicians, or global conference audiences, Stephanie brings presence, clarity, and strategic depth. Her style is disciplined yet human, grounded in science yet accessible—empowering high performers to elevate communication, fortify trust, and build systems that endure.

“I want to be on the frontline of breaking the stigma of mental health and therapy and deliver that message to as many people as possible”.

-STEPHANIE SIMMS
