Therapists in Tampa, FL

Hello, My name is Caprice Smith and I am a Licensed Therapist. I offer both in person and virtual sessions. I am a native of Saint Petersburg Florida and I graduated from Florida State University. Growing up in a minority community I discovered that mental health treatment was not received well & often overlooked. I then made it my mission to change the face of mental health biases.

My therapeutic approach recognizes the quality of the therapeutic relationship as an essential element in the therapy process. I look to collaborate with clients to identify and develop treatment goals and objectives and empower clients to take charge of the design and direction of your life. I utilize a balance of acceptance and change strategies to identify problems and generate effective solutions that help to move away from negative experiences and toward positive experiences and toward life, joy, flexibility and freedom.

Are you having difficulty communicating with your spouse or partner? Do you feel unheard or alone in your relationship? Maybe it feels like you are having the same fight over and over? If so you, you are in good company. The number one issue couples report is ineffective communication. Interestingly, research suggests most issues couples face are perpetual. The good news is solving these issues is not as important as learning how to have respectful communication about them. The better news is helping couples communicate more effectively about tough issues is my specialty.
