Thanks for visiting my page! My name is Jessica Smith and I am a Registered Marriage and Family Therapy Intern. I have 4 years of experience working with couples, families, and individuals for a variety of needs.
After completing much of my own journey through therapy and experiencing portions of other people’s, it became apparent that we all have a deep need for connection to help us combat life’s challenges. As a minister’s wife, the depth of family and individual struggles was eye opening. I realized I wanted additional skills and training so that I could be a different kind of servant in God’s kingdom. I have loved seeing how many things that are effective in therapy are modeled throughout the Bible. It has been one of my greatest joys to assist people in finding relief from their trials.
I have experience with addiction, bipolar disorder, and borderline. My specialties include anxiety, depression, marital conflict, and infidelity. I am pursuing a few certifications including dialectical behavioral therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy for anxiety. I have completed level 2 of the Gottman training for couples and will have completed the Externship for Emotion Focused Couples Therapy by the end of this month.
My ideal clients are those who are motivated to change and are willing to stretch and grow themselves. I am also very willing to work with those who struggle to find their motivation but realize they do not want to stay where they are at. If this sounds like you, let’s work together to build a life worth pursuing!
