Hi I am Dr. Teyhou Smyth and am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California Originally from the United Kingdom, I earned an M.A. in Marriage and Family Therapy at the California School of Professional Psychology and hold a doctorate degree in Education.

Whether this is your first time seeking therapy or a continuation of your therapy journey, I want to acknowledge the time you are taking to support yourself by seeking change. I think of therapy as a commitment to making space for things that often don’t get enough space in everyday life— space settle into oneself, to take pause, to be witnessed, to be with experiences and support awareness as it emerges. I believe that awareness leads to choice, and that in therapy we can co-create a space to explore your experiences, building greater awareness of needs, boundaries, and patterns of experience.

This human journey is dynamic and asks so much of us at times. Many of us find ourselves struggling internally or in our relationships and it is these moments that I am here for you.

I believe the mind knows how to heal. Given the right conditions, our own wisdom guides us back to what makes us feel alive and whole. Therapy can be one of the conditions we need for healing. By becoming familiar with what blocks us and aligning with what we value and love, we begin to untangle the past and create the life we want.

I am a dually Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and Marriage and Family Therapist, gratefully serving California residents via the convenience, privacy, and affordability of Telehealth. I specialize in helping my clients navigate the challenges of Life Transitions, decision-making, Grief, and Loss. My clients are individual adults and couples.

Do you want to build a stronger connection with your child? Are you concerned you are not able to support your child regulate their emotions? As family-focused therapists, our goal is to support and foster a positive relationship within your family unit and find ways to support different types of relational connection. We also support adults that struggle to express themselves; "I don't know why I respond like that", unable to meet their emotional needs; "I don't know where to start" and those who find it difficult to connect with others; "I don't have people I can trust or that I can tell this to."

Clients often come to me during a deep life transition of some kind. They are looking for clarity and deeper meaning. They are motivated, and sometimes afraid to change. Issues of grief and death, relationship, career change, loss or aging often show up; a sense of "Who am I? What next? Where am I going? Where have I been?" Many times clients are looking for deeper spiritual awareness, either wanting to renew abandoned practices, or looking for something beyond their past experience. In each case they are looking to connect more directly with life and find methods to do so. They are looking for greater balance, peace and stability.

Psychotherapy aims to equip us with tools for the difficulties of life.

It helps to identify patterns, triggers, and blindspots, and then provides approaches to help you feel understood and respected.

I believe that being understood by someone who is compassionate and knowledgeable is essential to becoming the best person we can be. We can be our own worst critics and sometimes it helps to have someone experienced alongside us in our journey.
