Great to meet you!

My name is Ray Smith, a multi-licensed Clinical Social Worker in the states of MD/DC/VA/WY/MA/AK and recognized by the National Association of Social Workers as a Qualified Clinical Social Worker.

Since I was a child, I've always had compassion for others around me. As to be expected, this has naturally driven me to the helping profession, where I strive to help individuals live with and through their struggles, seeking to experience life to their fullest potential.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My treatment approach is tailored to your specific needs that will be sure to leave you with skills that will help you with any daily challenges. The ultimate goal is to provide you with the strength you need to become self-sufficient with circumstances in your life that cause you undue stress.

What you can expect from our first session

I provide a very open and caring environment allowing my clients to fully be themselves free from judgement.

Raymond's style is

Empowering
Solution-oriented
Direct
