I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with extended treatment experience.

The only journey is the one within.” — Rainer Maria Rilke Welcome! My name is Amy Afua Smith and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I exemplify authenticity and compassion throughout my daily life. Over my career as a licensed clinical social worker, I have dedicated myself to providing excellence in care to those in need, especially those from low income or underserved communities. I assist with problem-solving and managing challenges related to work-life balance.

You’re a modern couple, building a career and a relationship. You notice the effort taking its toll. You’re ready to learn how to protect your spark, so that your love continues to thrive. Perhaps, it’s been too long since you experienced passion and fun with your partner. You remember when things were different, and you long to be close again. You’re ready to decrease the distance, and find your way back to each other. Being in a relationship is rewarding, but, it can also be challenging.

**NOT CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS** Making a change can be a scary process, but with the guidance of the right person it can be just as rewarding. Therapy can help you overcome challenges, learn more about yourself, achieve goals, and increase satisfaction in your life. As a therapist, I provide a genuine, warm, and open environment that allows you to explore your difficulties, understand your strengths and weaknesses, and develop insight. I view each individual I work with as unique and strive to create an environment that is best suited for your personal needs.

At times, words do not seem sufficient to convey our deepest feelings. We find ourselves repeating the same frustrating patterns in relationships, career, and daily life. While we know something has to give, often we are unsure how to make it happen, and even doubt if we’re capable. In session, you will be guided through a supportive, creative process that can help you achieve a deeper understanding of yourself and validate your life experiences without judgment from your therapist.

Sleepless nights are taking their toll. Shear panic courses through your veins as you lay awake at 3am, dreading the day ahead. You are already running on little to no sleep and the cycle just doesn’t seem to end. Despair creeps in while the thoughts and worry get more pronounced. Am I supposed to feel this way? Will this never end? Will I ever feel like myself again? On the outside you project the picture of composure. People say, “They’ve got it all figured out, not a worry in the world.” But on the inside a battle wages on. Your inner demons have a tight hold over you now and it feels like you’ve already lost

My practice offers a warm, safe and supportive place to work on your stuck points and ways to enhance and transform your life. Together, through the process of therapy we can unpack not only past negative experiences and/or behaviors, but also focus on how they impact you in the here and now; and most importantly identify strengths and patterns that we can examine and retool.

If you've been struggling with anxious thoughts and noticing harmful patterns that have disrupted your life. Struggling to set boundaries and want step into alignment with your authentic self. Having a genuine desire to make lasting changes in your life. Noticing the effects racism and social inequality have had on you both internally and externally. Wanting to incorporate anti-racist and social justice practices into your daily life to support you in stepping into your truth.

Life can be quite stressful impacting how we feel on both a physical and psychological level. This can lead to depression and/or anxiety, which at times can negatively impact every area of life. There are many ways of coping that can help you become stronger in this process, leaving you with a more positive experience both within yourself and in your relationships. Letting go of old ways of living life that keep you stuck is not so difficult, it just takes acknowledging that this issue exists and skills (you already posses) that I can help you get back to.

Life has many challenges, and we live in a world that tends to make us feel abnormal if we aren't happy all of the time. Psychotherapy provides an opportunity to heal and accept ourselves. Maybe you are feeling out of balance with the pressures of work and/ or personal relationships. Maybe anxiety and stress are causing you to lose sleep, feel depressed and/or to act out with excessive behaviors such as drinking too much or overeating. Maybe you can't control or stop a behavior that causes you shame or regret.

Hi, my name is Evangelos, but you can call me Evan! My approach to therapy is based on genuine human interaction. A person centered orientation is the foundation of any therapeutic relationship. Not every person benefits from the same treatment. For this reason I hold an eclectic orientation, including but not limited to: CBT, DBT, Emotional focused therapy, Mindfulness, and Relaxation. I believe in goal-setting and strategy building. However, I also understand that sometimes we just need to vent! My earliest exposure to mental health training was in Hypnosis, and the interaction between our conscious and subconscious mind.

Healthy relationships provide us with support, connection and a deeper meaning in our lives. They are the fruits of our labor and, sometimes, the thorns of our circumstances. However they may show up in your life, you might have wondered about overcoming these obstacles, rearranging things in your life, changing the quality of your relationships, revitalizing your circumstances, redefining the meaning of your life, reseting it & rebuilding it to a higher ground. It starts & ends with you, that is where change happens.

In the 20 years that I've practiced psychotherapy I've come to appreciate the uniqueness and complexities that make us who we are. When problems arise and it is decided to enter therapy, it becomes something of a "Magical Mystery Tour" into our inner world, hopefully to learn more about ourselves.
