LaShae Smith

Welcome! As a board certified Clinical Social Worker trained in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, I have been able to assist individuals in navigating their past hurts while empowering them to create lasting change for their futures. It is my belief that the only guarantee in life is inevitable ups and downs; however, it is because of this that we are made unique and empowered to make necessary changes. I enjoy assisting women of color between the ages of 17-35 with embracing all that life has to offer.

Many see the emotional experiences (often referred to as "meltdowns") during challenging moments as something we need to hurry and get past. As a therapist, I acknowledge that it is in those very moments we come to know ourselves the best, we learn our strengths and the power we possess. I have experience providing services to women struggling with depression, anxiety, grief, post-partum and relationship challenges. My clients are supported and empowered to embrace life's difficult moments through numerous different approaches such as Cognitive-Behavioral therapy, Solution-Focused therapy, Humanistic therapy, and Strength Based therapy.

Within my practice, I encourage clients to embrace life by redefining what it means to "meltdown". I offer a safe and supportive landing for you to unravel while exploring your inner thoughts and feelings. Together we will work to identify triggers/stressors and create solutions. You will receive an individualized approach to creating specific, measurable, attainable and timely goals. Individuals will leave sessions with improved self-worth, enhanced personal growth, and increased resilience.
