Hi! I’m Maureen and I love being a Counselor! My style of service is calm and comfortable talk therapy. I believe in mutual respect, being real, showing compassion, and having unconditional positive regard for everyone. I strive to develop a strong and healthy working relationship with my client.
I am a counselor and instructor in the Counseling and Student Development division at a Community College, and I also teach for a University in the Psychology program. I’ve been with both for over 18 years. I previously worked for the Head Start and Early Head Start Programs for almost 25 years. I get to work with so many interesting people from teenagers through older adults on a regular basis!
I have a Master of Arts in Counseling degree and a Master of Science in Human Services degree with a specialization in Social Work and Community Services, and a Post-Graduate Certification in Diversity Studies. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a National Certified Counselor (NCC).
I am proud to be a nerd, as defined by the Urban Dictionary:
Nerd
An individual who:
1. Enjoys learning
2. Does not adhere to social norms
I have three grown offspring, four perfect grandkids and my own little herd of wiener dogs.
I enjoy mass quantities of Disney and superhero movies whenever I’m able to hide away in my Batcave for a little while.
I look forward to meeting you!

Could not find a better fit for myself than her, she’s always got words of encouragement or educational links and tools to help every situation.

Amazing help with my issues and replies very quickly. She is also very understanding and helpful when I have issues arise suddenly. She gives me things to work on and that drives me to try new things she suggests.

There were moments where Maureen had said something or mentioned something that had me stop and think. I really appreciated that.

Maureen is down to earth, non judgemental, listens. She asks all the right questions to help you get to an answer you feel good about instead of just giving you clinical by the book responses. She has even responded to me when I reached out outside of a session and has provided me some great resources to use on my own.

Maureen Smith is an amazing person. From the moment we met I was able to just open up with all my emotions. She listened, she gave me feedback and the best part, she was very compassionate. I didn't feel any judgements. It felt like I was telling my deep feelings and secrets to someone who has always known me. I am very happy for having Maureen in my life. She is helping to self love and to lose my harsh criticism of my life.

I was surprised with how easy and natural it seemed with Maureen. Having been through counseling before, I know it takes time to build trust and I figured it would take longer through this app but I haven't had an issue. She is supportive but she seems to know to give me more concrete guidance. I have some other counseling resources but I find that this is my preferred option and I truly enjoy it.

I feel comfortable speaking with her. She has made me think an be more aware of ME an loving me. An showing myself time and appreciation I deserve, for Me. An helping me work through other issues throughout my life. She gives me hope an a different perspective. Her kindness is so refreshing. To be listened too? An not judged or told how its me somehow always. She helps me calm myself , think , an move forward for what's best for me, with more calmness . She had been a pleasure an a blessing. Much respect an appreciation for Maureen.
