Kim Smith
Kim Smith, MFT LADC | Executive Director | AAMFT Approved Supervisor
I work with victims of trauma, Military and Veterans, Neurodivergent youth and emerging adults, those in the LGBTQ+ community, and high risk adolescents. I help people who want to stop their unhealthy behaviors such as addiction, self-harm, negative thinking, or feeling as though they are helpless to change their life. I provide a safe welcoming place that will help you heal and improve your life. Being a part of someone’s healing journey and watching them increase their self-esteem and self-confidence is amazing. With my over 25 years of experience, I can assist you with learning to heal and grow regardless of the problem you are struggling with.

“There is hope, even if the brain tells you there isn’t”. This quote by author John Green is a sentiment that has inspired my work with clients for over a decade to find solutions to the unique obstacles they face. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I have experience treating a variety of challenges including anxiety, depression, grief, marital conflicts, parenting challenges, child/adolescent issues and life changes. My approaches include Person Centered Therapy, CBT, EFT, and Experiential Therapy. I am passionate about connecting with and assisting diverse client populations. A lot of people are feeling stuck and alone. My goal is to create a safe and open environment where they feel heard and understood. Let’s work together to achieve your goals and create a better quality of life!
