My name is Stephanie Smith and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I know it can be a difficult decision to seek therapy. I am committed to providing compassionate and non-judgmental support by providing a safe space for clients to feel heard, understood, and safe. I graduated from Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center with a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and am currently pursuing my PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision.
My approach
My focus is on providing evidence-based, impactful treatment. I utilize Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and strengths-based approaches to help alleviate symptoms and allow you to live a more fulfilling life.
My focus
I work with adults struggling with a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, suicidal thoughts, trauma, severe mental illness, and ADHD. I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR. I have experience in working with police, EMS, grief/bereavement, life stage transitions, career issues, and suicidal ideation.
My communication style
I want to create a collaborative environment where we can function as a team. You are the expert of your own life and I am your guide and support.
My first session with you
Our first session will focus on getting to know each other and allowing me to get a sense of your reasons for seeking therapy in the first place. We will identify what you're hoping to get out of our time together and make a plan for how we will move forward. I approach everything collaboratively to make sure that your needs are being met.
