Jill Smith and Associates Counseling is a trusted group practice serving Columbia, Lexington, and the Northest/Blythewood for over 23 years. Our licensed therapists work with clients of every age — little children and their families, teens, and adults, and couples— offering a depth of experience that comes from decades in this community. Two psychologists on our team provide comprehensive testing for autism, ADHD, and learning disabilities for minors and young adults — a service that often supports families navigating school accommodations, developmental questions, or a need for formal diagnostic clarity.
Our licensed therapists hold certifications in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples and EMDR for trauma, alongside our broader general practice services covering individual, child, and family counseling. We're proud to have been voted a "Best of Columbia" practice by Free Times and Metropolitan Magazine, and "Best of" practice by Lexington Life Mag
