Grief counselors and therapists in Woodstock, GA

Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, struggling with depression, or dealing with ongoing stress in your relationships or family? You may feel stuck in the same patterns, emotionally drained, or unsure how to move forward. I work with individuals and families across Florida and Georgia who are navigating anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges. Together, we create a supportive space where you can understand what you’re experiencing and begin building a path toward clarity, stability, and healthier connections.

Welcome to the first step of the rest of your life. Deciding to begin your therapeutic journey can feel overwhelming and sometimes impossible. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I’m passionate about helping people feel heard, understood, and empowered. I strive to create a supportive environment where clients can explore their experiences and build the tools they need to move forward. My approach is collaborative and grounded in respect for each person’s unique story and strengths.

I'm a licensed counselor and scholar-practitioner with more than 29 years of experience providing behavioral health care across a wide range of settings. In 2009 I founded BSmith Consulting Group, LLC, where I work with individuals navigating adjustment issues, mental health disorders, and co-occurring (dual diagnosis) concerns. Alongside my clinical work, I provide employee assistance support to individuals, professionals, and organizations, and I contribute to the field through clinical supervision, training of fellow mental health professionals, and presenting at local, state, and national platforms. My goal is always to meet you where you are and support your long-term wellness.

Are you constantly overthinking? Feeling lost after a traumatic experience? Struggling with unresolved grief—or grieving the loss of a beloved pet and feeling like no one truly understands? These kinds of challenges can leave us feeling stuck, overwhelmed, and unsure of where to turn next. Whether you're navigating difficult emotions, healing from the past, or simply seeking clarity about your next steps, I’m here to walk alongside you on your path to healing, growth, and self-discovery.
