Keeping up appearances while feeling secretly exhausted? Hi, I am Kathleen Smith (she/they) and I provide compassionate, evidence-supported treatments to clients in my care. In our work together, I hope to help you better understand yourself, your partner, or your teenager to create lasting changes together. As an LGBTQ+ & neurodivergent therapist, I celebrate diverse identities & ensure that therapy is a respectful space to express yourself & explore your identity.
My approach to therapy is active, supportive, and compassionate. I strive to meet you where you are, helping you build insight into patterns that may be holding you back while also developing practical tools to address your needs. I believe therapy should be tailored to you, and be supportive of your relationships and prioritize your personal needs.
Whether you're dealing with life transitions, relationship issues, or reconnecting with yourself, therapy can be a space to explore any issue. I believe meaningful change happens when you feel heard, validated, and empowered.
Taking the first step is hard, but I'm here to help. Feel free to email me or visit our website to get started today!
