Tonya Smith
Pre-Licensed Counselor, MS
When we find our voice we find our power. Together, we can strive to rebuild your mental health through therapy; I truly believe this is a partnership between us with the joined objective of building a better you in whatever form you desire. I create a friendly, non-judgmental, safe environment for my clients that empower them to succeed in making real changes in their lives. I believe that each person has a unique self that must be respected, recognized and understood. I provide support by working with you towards improving your coping skills so that you could make positive changes, improve relationships, change negative patterns and live life to the fullest. This looks different for each individual, and I pride myself on my ability to adapt and offer therapy specific to your needs during any given period.
I have experience in working with clients with anxiety issues, substance abuse, relationship issues, parenting issue, anger, stress, and other life situations. I enjoy working with individuals from various backgrounds, so I am sensitive to your value and belief systems. I use a warm person-centered approach and utilize cognitive behavioral therapy to help my clients achieve their goals. I look forward to walking through this process with you.
