Phedra Smith, Q.S., LMHC
Qualified Supervisor & Licensed Mental Health Therapist
Life is difficult and we often find ourselves trying to navigate seasons that we never imagined we would be in. I hope that my life and educational experiences will serve as a breath of fresh air and support as we navigate this new season together.
The majority of my clients are women who have experienced various forms of trauma, couples who are navigating complex relationship issues, and individuals who are on a journey of healing from spiritual pain within the Christian faith.
To assist my clients in addressing deep-rooted problems effectively, I utilize a variety of methods, including EMDR, Sandtray Therapy, and Gottman techniques.
Additionally, I take great pleasure in mentoring future therapists who are seeking guidance and support for their professional growth and development.
