Kristina Smith

Kristina Smith, LCSW-C, has been a dedicated Clinical Social Work therapist for 18 years, specializing in helping individuals of all ages, from preteens to elders. She passionately collaborates with children, teens, and adults who seek to feel seen, understood, and more confident in their own lives. Kristina believes that every person has depth and the potential to lead a meaningful, connected life. Clients often come to her when they face challenges such as anxiety, depression, anger, or an overwhelming sense of unfulfillment, seeking to engage deeply with their lives. Kristina knows that confronting one’s inner self can be a daunting yet courageous journey necessary for personal growth, coping with change, enhancing relationships, and fostering a better understanding of oneself. She listens empathetically as clients share their stories and experiences, facilitating a nurturing environment for exploration. Kristina adeptly assists children in articulating their feelings to their caregivers, using a variety of therapeutic modalities including expressive arts, play therapy, and depth psychotherapy. By examining historical patterns and present dynamics, she helps clients unveil barriers that hinder their personal growth. Together, they cultivate deeper insight into both conscious and unconscious processes. Through their collaborative relationship, clients engage in mind-body techniques, expressive arts, dream exploration, and relational dynamics, ultimately developing self-awareness, enhancing coping skills, and improving communication and attachment with others. Kristina is eager to accompany her clients on their transformative journeys.
