Kim Smith
I specialize in helping individuals navigate challenges related to anxiety, depression, trauma recovery, aging, self-esteem and acceptance, and death and dying. I provide a warm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where clients are the experts of their own experience. My approach integrates evidence-based modalities including Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Strength and Solution-Focused Therapy, Energy Psychology, as well as Somatic and Mindfulness practices to support healing, resilience, and growth.

The future is yours!
