My name is Grace Smith, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 19 years of experience. I provide individual counseling services to youth and adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, diminished self-esteem, mood instability, anger issues, relationship struggles, and those having difficulty adjusting to life transitions. Helping individuals make the best of relationships with their partners, children, and themselves is my goal. Therapy can be uneasy and at times uncomfortable, and having a safe environment to talk about, and process life's stresses is very important. For this, I continuously strive to create and maintain a safe place for individuals or groups to restore peace and balance in their lives. My approach is individualized, solution-focused, holistic, and goal-oriented. As a life coach, I teach effective communication skills, assertiveness, healthy boundaries, stress management, conflict resolution, problem-solving, and parenting techniques. I utilize many counseling approaches, as well as evidence-based practice models, that are specific to individual needs and preferences including Trauma Informed Care, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person-Centered approaches, Collaborative Problem Solving, Positive Behavior Support, Motivational Interviewing, Family Systems, and when suitable, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (best suited for youth who have experienced trauma and experiencing symptoms of PTSD).

My name is Tracy Lewis. I have been practicing for almost twenty years. I have a master's degree in Social Work. I am also a Certified Integrative Health Coach. I enjoy working to help people improve their lives. My favorite treatment approaches are Client Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Clients often know what they need. They just need someone to guide them to. In this approach, you act as an equal partner in the therapy process, while your therapist remains non-directive and not past judgments on your feelings. The therapist help guide clients to grow psychologically, become more self-aware, and change their behavior via self-direction. The Cognitive Behavioral Therapy-based approaches are designed to help clients deal with anxiety, stress and depression by teaching them how to develop their skills needed to stop negative or unhelpful thoughts and start thinking, feeling and behaving in more positive ways. I look forward to working with you to guide you to become a better you!
