My name is Teerah, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in trauma work with adolescents, teens, and young adults. I have worked with clients of all ages and believe therapy should feel like a safe space where you can finally stop filtering yourself. I’m very down to earth, easy to talk to, and genuinely believe nothing is “too much” to bring into session. Whether you are dealing with trauma, anxiety, relationship stress, or just feeling emotionally stuck, my goal is to help you feel supported, understood, and a little less alone in it all.

Karen Smith

Karen Smith

Therapist

Virtual • Missouri


Hey there, I’m Karen, a licensed clinical social worker (LSCSW) who brings warmth and humor to our therapy sessions, fostering a strong, trusting relationship as the foundation for pursuing your goals. Through my telehealth practice, I support adults in Kansas navigating personal challenges, life obstacles, and mental health concerns. I personalize my approach with each client, helping them uncover new possibilities and create meaningful emotional change.

I specialize in working with adults navigating hurdles like ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, self-esteem, and relationship issues, plus other emotional and mental health concerns. Whether you’re managing stress or seeking personal development, I offer education and skills to support your journey of growth. I especially enjoy assisting clients who come across as overly blunt or harsh, guiding them to refine their communication to connect more effectively while staying authentic.

My communication style is authentic, playful, and direct, paired with a splash of humor. I cultivate a space where you can explore and share freely. With thoughtful observation and clear communication, I notice what’s often overlooked and encourage honest dialogue.

I help you reach your goals by customizing therapy to fit you. I share analogies and relatable stories to bring clarity. I empower you to tap into your values, strengths, and passions to grow with integrity. By viewing emotions as messengers, not problems, I offer coping skills to manage them in a healthy way, giving you tools to find calm and achieve lasting progress.
