Brittani Smith

Starting therapy can feel vulnerable, especially when you’re not quite sure where to begin. I’m Brittani Smith, a Licensed Professional Counselor with 4 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, adults, and older adults through anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, women’s issues, maternal mental health, substance use, and major life challenges.

My experience across outpatient, psychiatric hospital, intensive outpatient, partial hospitalization, and residential settings has given me the opportunity to work with people at many different stages of their mental health journey. I strive to create a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and comfortable being yourself.

My goal is to meet you where you are, help you understand what you’re experiencing, and work alongside you to create meaningful and lasting change.

My approach is individualized, holistic, and collaborative. I believe therapy should be tailored to you, your experiences, and the goals you want to accomplish.

I draw from approaches including CBT, EMDR, Motivational Interviewing, Somatic Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Positive Psychology, and Solution-Focused Therapy. Together, we’ll explore the thoughts, emotions, experiences, and patterns affecting your well-being while developing practical skills to help you navigate life’s challenges.

Whether you’re working through anxiety, trauma, depression, ADHD, maternal mental health concerns, or a major life transition, I’ll support you with compassion while empowering you to take meaningful steps forward.

Your first session is about getting comfortable, building rapport, and beginning to understand what brought you to therapy. We’ll talk about your personal history, what you’re currently experiencing, what you hope to gain from therapy, and any questions or concerns you may have about getting started. You don’t need to arrive with everything figured out. We’ll take the time to understand where you are and begin creating a plan together that feels realistic and meaningful. My hope is that you leave your first session feeling heard, supported, and relieved to have taken that first step toward feeling better.
