Brandy Smith, LCSW, LICSW

Reaching out is difficult, I am glad you are here.

​
Working with me:

I value the relationship that is built with each person that enters the room and I seek to build trust and safety with you. The therapist-client relationship is unique and our relationship will be the foundation for change and set the stage for healing. Clients who benefit most from my style are motivated to work toward a change and are open to the process of therapy. You have made it to my page, you are taking the first step toward healing and growth.

​

I am a client centered therapist who uses an integrative approach. I pull from Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness techniques, DBT Skills, and Attachment Focused EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to best support you. The National Registry of Evidence-Based Programs and Practices (NREPP) cites EMDR as an evidence-based practice for treatment of PTSD, anxiety and depression symptoms. You can learn more about EMDR here.

​

I work with individuals who have experienced trauma, PTSD, panic disorder, performance anxiety or chronic low self-esteem. You may also be struggling with insecurities and confidence issues or life transitions that feel too overwhelming. Traditional mental health therapy and EMDR may be beneficial if you have experienced any of these challenges.
