I believe healing begins the moment someone truly listens. My approach to therapy is centered on compassion, empowerment, and collaboration. Whether you're navigating trauma, mood disorders, ADHD, or life transitions, I meet you where you are—with warmth, expertise, and tools to help you move forward. I specialize in trauma recovery, ADHD, Bipolar Disorder, anxiety, and depression. Many of my clients arrive feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, and stuck—often carrying trauma they didn’t know they had. Together, we explore those experiences safely and nonjudgmentally, helping you regain peace, self-worth, and clarity.
I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS), tailoring your treatment to fit your personality and unique needs. I also offer Intensive Trauma Recovery, a less invasive alternative to traditional trauma exposure therapies.
Working with individuals across the lifespan—from children to elders—I also offer family support and have advanced training in parenting techniques that get results. I walk beside my clients as a trusted partner, guiding you through change and helping you reconnect with your strengths and goals.

Parenting

Cindy S Smith

Active Parenting is a 6 week/2 hours per session weekly group/family/individual/couple. Active Parenting uses Adlerian theory of choices and consequences in order to raise children who are respectful, cooperative and can thrive in their world. Active Parenting uses "I" statements, a democratic parenting style where children have a voice but the parent has the final say. It aids parents in helping children met the five goals of childhood: belonging; personal power/choice; protection; withdrawal; and risk.
