Provider Profile: Terriee Smith, LMHC, CAP, BC‑C Bariatric & Eating Disorder Specialist I am a Board‑Certified Counselor, Licensed Mental Health Counselor, and Certified Addictions Professional with specialized training in bariatric psychology, eating disorders, and weight‑related behavioral health. My practice focuses on helping adults navigate the emotional, cognitive, and behavioral challenges that accompany obesity, chronic dieting, and major lifestyle change. I provide pre‑bariatric psychological evaluations, post‑operative counseling, and long‑term behavioral support for individuals at every stage of the bariatric process. As a bariatric patient myself, I offer a unique blend of clinical expertise and lived experience, helping clients prepare for surgery, adjust afterward, and maintain long‑term success with confidence and stability. My clinical work includes treatment for: Eating disorders and disordered eating patterns Emotional eating, binge‑restrict cycles, and food‑related coping Anxiety, depression, and stress connected to weight and health Identity changes and body‑image adjustment after surgery Addictions and compulsive behaviors that impact wellness My therapeutic approach is structured, evidence‑based, and tailored to the needs of bariatric and eating‑disorder populations. I utilize CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, and behavioral medicine principles to help clients build sustainable coping skills, reduce “food noise,” and create healthier patterns that support long‑term wellbeing. All services are provided virtually, allowing clients to meet from the comfort and privacy of their home. My commitment is to offer a supportive, respectful, and clinically grounded environment where clients can safely explore challenges and work toward meaningful change.
