The Smith Counseling Group

We are a collective of professionals who are dedicated to providing evidence-based mental health care to individuals and their families.  With over 30 years of experience in the field, our approach is warm, direct, and based in science, with a focus on results that should be evident within the first few weeks of treatment.  

Our Approach

We provide state-of-the-art services that are tailored to meet your specific needs.  We believe in strong communication and collaboration among a multi-disciplinary team, as well as integrating family in with treatment, as appropriate.

Our Philosophy

We are strongly focused on symptom relief and seeing progress within the first few sessions.  Our clinicians are active participants in your treatment, providing expertise with warmth and compassion to create a comfortable, safe environment to facilitate recovery.

  • “To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best to make you everybody else, means to fight the hardest human battle ever and to never stop fighting.”
