Anna (Kate) Smart, LCSW

I've worked with several therapists, and Kate is by far the best experience I've had. She always makes me feel listened to, and her guidance has helped me find clarity on topics that have been causing me a great deal of confusion and anxiety.

Kate has a very relaxed and warm approach which put me at ease and made me feel capable right from the off. She listens and always sees right to the heart of the issue, offering profound insights and practical advice. She has subtly helped change my thinking and outlook for the better and helped me reach a state of mind I didn’t think was possible in the timeframe. Very grateful!

I've been working with Kate for over 3 months now, and she's great!

I'm autistic, and suffer from a myriad of anxiety driven, depression and OCD-ish symptoms. She has been super understanding from day 1, I'm super happy to have shared so much with her and received nothing but support, understanding, and encouragement. I can tell she has buckets of experience dealing with various people, and I've felt safe and comfortable talking to her.

Of course I recommend her! :)
