Welcome to Integrate counseling services, the private counseling practice of Sara Darby Smith, MS, LPC MHSP, NCC, SomEx, RYT-200 where the mind and body are brought to balance to fulfill a healthy and happy life. It is my mission to work with clients to help them use their mind and body to learn to cope with all psychological disorders and symptoms of emotional distress.

Accepting New Clients! Our career counseling and therapy services provide a safe, authentic, empathetic and respectful environment for you to process, heal, transform, rebuild and grow. While job satisfaction and career achievements motivate personal ambitions, today's workplaces still foster ample opportunities for your needs and goals to remain unmet. However, help for navigating employment and small business challenges is available! Listening to you - your voice, perceptions, beliefs and story - is critical for successful treatment. I engage. Expressions, emotions, gestures and behaviors are never unnoticed. I can help!

My ideal client seeks self-exploration & understanding, facing issues like anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties. They need a supportive space for personal growth, aiming to gain insight, develop coping strategies, improve communication, & foster healthy relationships. They aspire to enhance mental well-being, achieve a better life quality, & unlock their full potential.

“The hardest part about the gym, is getting there.” And you have done that! I am excited that you have taken the first step to overcome your emotional challenges and life stressors. Making the choice to begin therapy is not always an easy one. My goal is to help you feel more comfortable about that decision. Sometimes you just need someone to assist you with life changes, challenges, and handling the stress of it all.

I believe all people have the internal strength to process and work through their struggles. The body knows what to do when we are hurt both physically and with our emotions, but it can be hard to understand. I work to help clients understand our pain and learn to process it into moving forward. I work from a DBT perspective. I have worked with teens, adults and couples of many different cultures and helped them to reach their goals in community and private practice settings. My passion is to help you learn to build the tomorrow you envisioned. Whether those goals be personal, professional, or familial.

Many struggle with life issues, however when issues arise that are very difficult to resolve, the insight of a compassionate and objective professional can be very beneficial. The issues that arise in life are as varied as the individuals experiencing them causing one to feel overwhelmed, unhappy and dissatisfied. It is my hope that you will pursue the peace and purpose in life that you deserve.

Some have had a history of self esteem issues or relationship conflicts with others.
