My name is Karla Smith and I am the owner of Moving Forward Therapy. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have experience working with a variety of mental health diagnosis with children, adolescents, and adults. I am passionate about helping patients explore healthier ways to cope with stress, regulate emotions, and improve relationships to live a mindful and authentic life.
I incorporate evidenced based treatment modalities from various treatment models such as, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Therapy (SFT) and Play Therapy into your treatment and adapt my practice to your unique needs.
While some days may be difficult on your therapeutic journey, I will be with you along the way to offer a safe space filled with support, honesty, evidence based practices, and sometimes even humor. I am dedicated to help you on your personal journey and to “move forward” through life!
