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.

Life is full of challenges, and we all do our best with the resources we have. Whether you're a parent feeling stressed, a child having trouble at school, a young adult moving into the workforce, or a family dealing with health issues, there is support available.
I want to help you on your journey. My experience can guide you in recognizing negative thought patterns, improving communication, building self-esteem, and mending relationships with new skills and techniques. Together, we can work toward balance and wellness.

I am passionate about helping people deal with stressful changes as they navigate through the seasons of their lives. Dealing with anxiety, depression, and life stressors can be lonely, and I want help you to clarify and work towards the change you want to see. I provide a nonjudgemental space for people of all ages, genders and races.
I have worked primarily with adults and teenagers who are going through feelings of anxiety, panic, depression, and the lasting effects of trauma.
Trauma trainings and treatments modalities such as EMDR and trauma-focused cognitive therapy have allowed me to provide long term care for clients. I practice Gottman Method therapy to help couples and individuals build communication skills, conflict resolution skills, and meaningful connections.
Taking that first step toward reaching out for help can be intimidating but I am here for you. I look forward to walking alongside you to help you find the path to independence, confidence, and a sense of wholeness.
