Amber Smith

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 6 years of practice in community mental health centers. I am a clinician, a clinical supervisor and an advisor for interns. I obtained my Masters in Social Work degree at Adelphi University in May of 2019. I have felt confident in my work with various client populations such as adults, seniors, adolescents, couples and families. I use clinical approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, psychodynamic psychotherapy, psychoeducation, strengths-based approach, motivational interviewing, trauma-informed care, solution-focused therapy, couple's and family therapy.

Starting therapy can feel overwhelming. My goal for every therapy session is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered. I work with individuals on navigating anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns, life transitions, trauma, grief and stress. I am able to provide couple's therapy to assist with navigating communication, conflict and relationship patterns.

During your first session with me, you can expect to have a warm, open-minded and collaborative discussion about your challenges, goals and ways that I can be supportive. My approach is to assist you in developing new skills and gaining insight about yourself to develop meaningful changes and to improve your overall well-being.
