My name is Grace Smith, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of experience working in the mental health care and social services industry. My goal is to provide (w) holistic-focused psychotherapy services that promote wellness, growth, and transformation of the individuals, families, and/or groups served.
My approach
As therapy can often be uneasy or uncomfortable, I strive to create and maintain a safe place for clients to talk and process life's stresses to restore peace and balance in their lives. My approach is individualized, solution-focused, holistic, and goal-oriented. I work with clients to navigate challenging times and cultivate hope for the future. I believe that the capacity to heal lives within us all, and we ALL deserve acceptance and to feel validated in the care that helps us discover it.
My focus
Helping individuals make the best of relationships with their partners, children, and themselves is my goal. I provide individual therapy services to youth and adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, diminished self-esteem, mood instability, anger issues, relationship struggles, and those having difficulty adjusting to life transitions.
My communication style
Therapy can be uneasy and at times uncomfortable, and having a safe environment to talk about, and process life's stresses is very important. For this, I continuously strive to create and maintain a safe place for individuals or groups to restore peace and balance in their lives. My approach is individualized, solution-focused, holistic, and goal-oriented. As a life coach, I teach effective communication skills, assertiveness, healthy boundaries, stress management, conflict resolution, problem-solving, and parenting techniques.
