Professional Connections
Dr. Georgina Smith is one of the most talented and effective clinicians I have had the honor to call a colleague and a friend. She exudes passion, warmth, and kindness and with experience and insight, is able to help others achieve their desired change. She effortlessly manages to create a safe space in which others are able to share their experience and feel respected. Throughout the years, I have confidently referred clients to her who are in need of support regarding relationship concerns, recovery from drugs or alcohol, codependency, or phase of life transitions. She is a wonderful psychologist and I would highly recommend her to anyone who is seeking change.
