Dr. Michael Smith

I'm Michael, an LCSW who specializes in helping people heal from attachment trauma, including the wounds that often begin in childhood through emotional abuse, neglect, or disconnection. I work with individuals who want to build stronger spiritual, behavioral, and cognitive skills that lead to deeper emotional connections with God, themselves, and the people around them. Therapy is a space to understand how your past still shapes your present, build real self-awareness, and move toward meaningful, lasting change. I'd love to connect.

My therapeutic approaches include attachment theory, trauma-informed practice, narrative therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and spiritual-oriented therapy, as desired. Together, we can explore the experiences and stories that have shaped you, identify patterns that may no longer serve you, and develop practical tools to support healing and growth. I value an authentically kind therapist-client relationship built on trust, compassion, and collaboration, because meaningful progress begins with feeling seen, respected, and safe.

I create a therapeutic environment that is nonjudgmental, warm, focused, relaxed, and gently challenging. I want you to feel safe, supported, and confident in my ability to guide you through positive change. Together, we may work toward repairing attachment wounds, developing greater self-emotional awareness and intelligence, and building relationships that feel emotionally closer, healthier, and more fulfilling. I will meet you where you are while helping you move toward the growth and connection you want.
