Dr. Jennifer G Smith

Hi! I currently work at my private practice, Dr Jennifer G Smith LLC. I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist who provides individual and group psychotherapy and have over 15 years of clinical experience providing mental health service to adults. I opened my practice in 2022 and wanted to create a space that feels safe and welcoming, since the process of initiating therapy and engaging in treatment can be intimidating and vulnerable. In my reflections on the values important to my practice, I see myself as client-centered and relational in my clinical work and take an integrative approach to treatment. One of the most important aspects of counseling to me is making sure my client feels safe and heard. I view it as a privilege to be invited into someone's world and asked for help, so I meet the client where they are and we make a plan together. I offer a safe, non-judgmental space where clients can identify and explore their struggles and feel more empowered. My focus is helping clients overcome barriers in their lives to feeling more healthy and fulfilled. Managing mental health struggles is difficult, so I provide a space for clients to slow down, process, and make positive changes. Interpersonally, you'll find me to be casual, but professional. I see myself as part of my client's "team", always trying to come from a point of view centered on what is best for them. I give my best effort and try to be intentional and transparent in my work. I genuinely care about my clients and their well-being. Therapy is already vulnerable for a client, so fit is so important. I want you to feel as comfortable as I can, as we work on things that are difficult for you. So, if my profile speaks to you and you think I might be able to help, please reach out. We can figure out together if I'm a good fit and if I can meet your treatment needs.
