Aisha Smith-Shoemo

Hello, I'm Aisha Smith-Shoemo, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) dedicated to helping you navigate life's challenges. You don't have to face the overwhelm, sadness, or helplessness alone. Whether you are dealing with a major life change like divorce, chronic illness, loss, or relationship issues, I am here to offer a safe space for you to find your way forward. Using an integrative approach, we will work together to help you regain control of your emotions and find a meaningful direction. I provide virtual counseling to adults, couples, and adolescents (ages 12 and up). My practice is LGBTQ+ and Veteran-friendly.

Your therapy should be as unique as you are. My integrative approach, using CBT, Solution-Focused, and Emotionally Focused therapies, is adapted to your specific needs. My goal is to empower you to take control of your life and achieve meaningful growth.

Our first session is a "meeting of the minds"—a collaborative intake designed to build rapport and see if we are a right fit for one another. It takes immense courage to seek support when life events or emotions feel overwhelming, and this initial conversation is the first step in regaining your direction.

During this hour, we will move through a biopsychosocial assessment to gather your background history and identify the specific challenges you are facing. While I explain essential office policies and my therapeutic approach, our primary focus will be defining your goals and creating a supportive, healing space tailored to your journey.
