Life can feel like a lot sometimes, whether you're navigating anxiety, grief, addiction, or the emotional weight of caring for a loved one. Maybe things feel tangled, or you're used to being the strong one for everyone else. You don’t have to figure it all out alone. I want to understand your story, what’s been heavy lately, and what you’re hoping will feel different. Together, we can begin to make sense of it all and help you feel more steady, supported, and like yourself again.

Alanda Smith

Alanda Smith

Therapist

Virtual • Illinois


I’m a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) and a CADC. Therapy is my second career—I retired from nursing after 30 years, and my work in mental health is the continuation of what I’ve always valued: helping people move from illness to wellness, with care, structure, and real support.

I graduated from George Williams College and continued my education through Aurora University to strengthen my clinical foundation. I’m also a certified grief professional counselor, and I specialize in helping individuals and families navigate loss, transitions, and the emotions that come with grief.

I recently received approval for my doctorate in theology, and I will be graduating in May. My approach honors your story and supports healing in a way that aligns with your values—whether you’re looking for faith-informed guidance or focused mental health support.

My nursing career began in 2010 when I first became a Registered Nurse. In 2017 I graduated from Maryville University in St. Louis, MO with my master’s degree in nursing and became a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-C) licensed in Illinois. I have been blessed to work in many facets of healthcare since and has also become a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC). With a strong foundation in both primary care and mental health, my approach aligns overall wellness and hormone optimization with physical, mental, and lifestyle well-being.
