Michaela Smith

I specialize in working with clients who feel stuck, disconnected from their body, or who carry an extensive trauma history. Whether you’re highly analytical and struggling to drop into your body, or finding it hard to feel and name your emotions, I offer approaches that meet you where you are. Using somatic and body-based methods, including movement, mindfulness, imagery, and metaphor, I help clients access their inner world, integrate difficult experiences, and break through old patterns.

As a sex-informed, trauma-specialized clinician, I bring a layered lens to my work. I hold an MS in Mental Health Counseling, a Certificate of Advanced Study in both Interdisciplinary Trauma Studies and Behavior Forensics, and advanced certifications in trauma, yoga, psychedelic integration, and sexuality. I am licensed as an LMHC-D in New York State and am a certified Ketamine Assisted Provider, supporting clients through ketamine-assisted therapy as an evidence-informed pathway for healing. My background spans years of direct clinical work with clients across the lifespan in both agency and private practice settings.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Expect to be met exactly where you are, with the time and space to share your experiences on your terms.
