Kelly Smartt, PhD, LMFT

Don't we all want to thrive and flourish and live our best life? I'm here to partner with you toward growth, healing, transformation, becoming your best self . . . Hello! My name is Kelly. I specialize in psychotherapy and counseling for adult individuals (age 21+). Most people seek therapy because of emotional distress, feeling stuck, or some variety of suffering. Psychological or mental pain can show up in our lives in many ways: feeling disconnected, lonely, not good enough, anxious, sad; struggling with perfectionism, unhealthy, hard-to-change patterns, relationship conflict, etc. "Symptoms" get in the way of living the life we really want. When we develop a loving relationship with self—with ongoing self-compassion—we can live a fuller, richer, more meaningful life. I partner with my clients toward healing and growth through 3 key processes: (1) deepening our understanding of self, (2) strengthening our ability to effectively connect with others, and (3) honoring the spiritual, the divine, the sacred. I see spirituality as an important aspect of the whole person, regardless of religion. For more information, please message me through this profile OR just go ahead and SELF-schedule a preliminary consultation (free, 15 min) through my website. See "Visit Website" link at the top of this page to schedule a conversation. Initial consults are virtual, but full sessions after that can be either in-person in my Dallas office or virtual (TX only). Proceeds donated to charity.
