Jamie Smith
(She/Her/Hers)
Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)
I welcome and affirm clients of all backgrounds and identities in my practice. I specialize in depression, anxiety and life transitions.
Your goals are my goals! I want you to leave your appointment feeling seen and heard. It usually helps to have extra support during life stress and mental health issues. I will use my years of mental health expertise to help you explore your options and support you in your decisions. It is my wish that you leave your appointment feeling seen and heard as a whole and unique person (because that is what you are) and not a patient with a mental health diagnosis. I offer free consultations if you would like to get in touch and see if we would be a good fit. Please let me know if there are any other questions I can answer for you. I look forward to hearing from you.
