Margaret Smith

As your Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, my goal is to provide care that is truly individualized for every person I work with. I believe that each patient’s journey is unique, and my role is to meet you where you are while helping you move toward where you want to be. Together, we will create personalized goals for your mental health and overall well-being, developing a treatment plan that reflects your needs, values, and strengths. I approach every therapeutic relationship as a partnership. It’s important to me that we work collaboratively, building a foundation of trust, respect, and open communication. Through this process, I aim to create a safe and supportive environment where you can explore challenges, gain insight, and develop effective strategies for growth and healing. My practice is grounded in a person-centered and humanistic approach, which means I see you as a whole person—not just a diagnosis or set of symptoms. I believe in your innate capacity for self-understanding and positive change. My goal is to help you reach your mental health goals, rediscover your strengths, and move toward a life that feels more balanced, meaningful, and self-fulfilling.
