About Anne
Hi, I’m Anne Simmons, DNP, APRN, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC, AMB-BC, CNE — a dual-certified Family and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and the founder of Hope in Motion – Psychiatric Wellness.

With over a decade of experience in nursing, I’ve cared for individuals across the lifespan in settings ranging from pediatric clinics to skilled nursing facilities. I understand how complex and personal the journey toward wellness can be — because I’ve walked it myself as a provider, a mother, a spouse, and a lifelong learner. My clinical interests include ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and helping patients rebuild motivation and self-trust.

I created Hope in Motion to offer compassionate, individualized care that truly sees you — not just your diagnosis. Whether you're navigating mental health challenges, exploring weight loss treatment, or seeking support for yourself or your family, I’m here to help you move forward with hope and purpose.

I look forward to working together — with empathy, cultural humility, and a focus on what matters most to you!

Treatment philosophy & approaches

At Hope in Motion, we believe that healing is personal, and that meaningful mental health care must be compassionate, collaborative, and culturally informed. Our treatment philosophy centers on meeting each person exactly where they are — honoring their lived experience, values, and goals.

We take a trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming, and military culturally competent approach, with a deep commitment to breaking down stigma and barriers to care. We recognize that emotional wellness is inseparable from physical health, relationships, and purpose — and we strive to support the whole person, not just a diagnosis.

We believe in individualized care that empowers clients to take an active role in their mental health journey, and we walk alongside them with respect, transparency, and hope.

Treats with the following approaches
Culturally Sensitive
Emotionally Focused
Humanistic
Coaching
Trauma-Focused
Person-Focused
