I create a safe, non-judgmental, supportive, and encouraging environment where clients feel heard and can tell their story at their own pace. I focus on adults 21+ battling depression, anxiety, PTSD, grief, relationship issues, and more. I use an integrative modalities approach of cognitive behavioral, solution focused, psychodynamic, narrative, and person-centered therapies.

My therapeutic style is conversational and collaborative and treatment is tailored to meet the needs of the individual.

In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. We'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experiences. We may also look at how past experiences impact your thoughts and actions in the present.

Hello, my name is Sandra Smith, MA, LAPC, NCC. I have always had a passion for helping others. Early in my career, I worked with special needs adults for 15 years. I decided to take my passion for helping others to the next level by earning my Master of Arts degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at South University in 2018. My clinical experience includes a strong background in crisis counseling and crisis intervention. My goal is to help people navigate life’s unexpected challenges, heal, and feel empowered.
