Great to meet you!

If you are experiencing feelings of sadness, anxiety, anger, or other overwhelming thoughts.. Please know that you are not alone. I want to listen and help you. We all need support. We are all human. Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Dr. Tasha Smith and I am a LMFT. My master’s degree is in Clinical Psychology & I earned my PhD from Jackson State University in the field of Social Work. Besides my educational qualifications, I am a wife, I am a mother, I am a daughter, I am a friend.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My resilience allows me to navigate through the toils and snares of this thing we call life, and then apply the knowledge, the skills, and the lessons, to assist you in your journey. Having worked with clients of all backgrounds and demographics, my style is eclectic and unique to each client. Experiencing empathy, compassion, acceptance, support, and encouragement happens here and it happens with me!

What you can expect from our first session

I can help you gain the knowledge & the tools to do and be your best. I provide therapy to those of all ages with a special emphasis on teenagers. Feedback received from clients include feeling “supported” and “heard”, which lets me know that progress is being made. Additionally “I like your relatable approach. I feel safe & comfortable while talking with you. I can be honest without feeling condemned or judged. You see me as the person I am & not the superficial characteristics I present.”
