I have experience working with DBT,
CBT
, Narrative, and Solution Focused Therapy.
Everyone is on their own path, and everyone's path is their own. I like to think of the client/therapist relationship as "co-travelers." Meaning, we are both on this journey together. I believe in a holistic approach to a person's emotional well-being can make all the difference in the world. I want to help clients to become more aware of how the world around them can have sudden, as well as, long term affects when it comes to therapy. If we can be present with our thoughts and ourselves, we're half way there.

Square One Services helps individuals find hope for the future by balancing the many parts of everyday life - family, kids, parenting, marriage/divorce, work, spirituality. Additionally, if you are thinking about, are going through, or have been though the legal process of divorce, custody, child support, adoption, criminal charges or probate - and feel overwhelmed and lost, I can help you find peace, purpose and stability. Chaos fades (eventually!) as you get closer to Square One.

I aspire to walk alongside my clients as they grow and evolve; shedding unhelpful truths, memories, or behaviors you may have gathered along your journey.

I generally use solution-focused brief therapy,
cognitive
behavioral therapy, client-centered and reality therapy to help explore your strengths and overcome your setbacks.
There are so many surprises and experiences in the world to shape and grow us, some of which can be life-changing or hard to move past. It is easy to become voiceless, bottle things up, or notice that you completely have changed yourself to merely get by. Normalcy is often what everyone wants, but yet, to achieve it can be a constant battle with unending emotions. I have an innate drive and passion for supporting others and helping them reach their full potential as they navigate through transitions, adolescence, and other milestones in life, regardless of age group.

Hello! My name is Dr. Megan Smith. I am a National Board Certified, licensed professional counselor. I received my PhD in May 2020 in Counselor Education and supervision from the University of Texas at San Antonio. Processing trauma can often seem daunting, and can feel very lonely. Trying to find the right counselor can further intensify those feelings. It has been my honor and privilege to have worked, as a counselor, with clients who have survived trauma since 2017. I believe that if you want a counselor who can provide a safe environment to process trauma while encouraging healing, then you are in the right spot!

You've got it together, except inside you feel like you're slowly coming apart. It's okay to invest in yourself. It's more than okay, it's necessary. Life is too short to surrender to bad relationships, substances, or let emotions or trauma control us. Change happens when people are given the guidance and support, they need to draw on their own strengths and realize their potential to live fulfilling joyful lives. I believe in playing the long game and you are worth having a better tomorrow.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists
How does cognitive behavioral therapy work?
Cognitive behavioral therapy works by exploring how your thoughts affect your emotions and experiences. CBT helps you identify distortions in your thinking. For example, you may tend to jump to the worst case scenario (catastrophizing) or think in extremes (all-or-nothing thinking). A therapist can teach you how to push back against those thoughts to ultimately change your feelings and behavior for the better. They can also provide coping skills to better deal with stressors and challenges.
When do I know to seek treatment with cognitive behavioral therapy?
It’s reasonable to consider cognitive behavioral therapy if you struggle to manage difficult emotions or behaviors to such an extent that you are not getting the most out of life on a day-to-day basis. If you want a shorter term, concrete, skills-based approach, CBT is a great option. (By contrast, other types of therapy may devote more time to exploring your past and its effects.) The decision to seek CBT also depends on the condition you’re treating; CBT is an effective treatment for anxiety, depression, trauma, and many other disorders.
How can I find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else?
To find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else, you may want to begin by discussing the person’s problem, researching cognitive behavioral therapy, and assessing whether the approach is the right fit. You could then reach out to a few cognitive behavioral therapists in this directory, explain the scenario, have a consultation with those available, and determine who could be a good match.
Why is CBT such a popular form of therapy?
CBT has become a popular form of therapy because it is effective and accessible. Robust research has demonstrated that CBT is an effective treatment for many mental health conditions. And CBT can be learned in relatively few sessions, which means that many people can engage in the process, afford it, and see results quickly. It involves learning concrete skills such as disputing unhelpful thoughts; these skills can also be taught and spread widely.
