Heidi Smith, MSW, LCSW

My goal is to provide a place where you feel safe, understood, and respected. We will work together to explore and identify the areas of your life that you would like to understand better and develop plans to help you reach your goals. I have seen my clients find success with my treatment approaches combining CBT, mindfulness and a psychodynamic oriented approach to reach their goals. My approach to therapy works to build on your own personal strengths and support you with these tools and strategies that fit your individual needs. Together they provide a deeper self awareness and understanding of the way our experiences have shaped us, our decisions and our view of our world. Having that knowledge is transformative and empowering. “Having courage does not mean that we are unafraid. Having courage and showing courage means we face our fears. We are able to say, "I have fallen, but I will get up." ~ Maya Angelou

I specialize in and have extensive experience working with trauma, anxiety and phobias (including school, social anxiety and OCD) and depression. I am also trained in EMDR. I offer children, teens and adults a non-judgmental place to come speak confidentially about what is concerning you and learn more about yourself. I believe the helping relationship should provide an accepting, empathetic, validating environment for the client. I focus on where you are, your goals, needs and priorities. I also offer Telehealth sessions.
