Victoria Smith is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, as well as a Certified Brain Injury Specialist and Certified Dementia Practitioner. She received her Bachelors of Social work from Rutgers University, and later earned her Masters of Social Work from Monmouth University. She has experience working with individuals and families, with a focus in serving clients who are struggling with depression, anxiety, stress, ASD, ADHD, Dementia, TBI, Stroke, interpersonal difficulties, end of life concerns, and new life stages/changes. She also serves women grieving pregnancy and infant loss.

My most extensive experiences are with people who have had issues with substance addiction, recovery, and domestic/relationship abuse. Many individuals have also had co-ocurring issues such as depression, anxiety, and trauma that create additional legal, social, and spiritual issues. Goals for therapy include recovery from addiction, better emotional and physical health, and restoring healthy family and social relationships. To me, successful therapy is about facilitating personal and professional growth and helping people to process their feelings and thoughts. In so doing, they are able to make important changes in their lives.

Life can be extremely busy and trying at times, especially now with all of the sudden stressful changes in our lives, and we can feel as though we have too many roles to fill at once. This can create anxiety, depression, stress, and family issues. Having someone to help work through these difficulties can be extremely beneficial. I have much experience with various populations and age groups and provide my services in your home, as that is where people feel most comfortable and that is where many of life's challenges occur.

Do you suffer from anxiety, mood, self-esteem, weight issues, medical symptoms affected by stress? Trying to cope while not understanding how to transform patterns that are keeping you stuck can be a very frustrating, painful, isolating experience. I am a holistic therapist that will offer a warm, caring environment to listen to and explore the core reasons for your distress. I will help you heal by listening with care and compassion. We can then, using the wisdom of your body and mind, use specific techniques to process, regulate and heal. Deep and meaningful change will soon become the confident, new normal.

Building on the clinical social work model of person-in-environment, Connect Counseling & Wellness offers services designed to create a healthy mind, body and spirit. Whether its stress, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, self-esteem or any of life's problems that impair functioning and impede happiness, we help our clients to better understand themselves and others and to implement solutions designed to feel better and become their best selves.
