Awesome therapist! I could not recommend more treats people like a human he is very understanding and insightful A++++
Dr. Smith has been a great patient listener and given very thoughtful and sound advice. I am very grateful for his skillset and his emotional intelligence.
I just started my journey with Dr Smith and so far he has been very patient, respectful and already has guided me professionally. I am very comfortable with him.
Thank you Dr. Smith! Before working with Dr. Smith I felt the Tasmanian devil was running through my body and mind. I felt lost and super out of control. Today (months later), I have the perfect tools that align specifically with me and the confidence to actually use them when things get bumpy. I can honestly say Dr. Smith helped tremendously with me getting to this place. He created a space that was easy for me to share. I felt heard and understood always. I felt like he had my best interest in mind. I would recommend Dr. Smith to anyone who is looking to focus and work on self. Thank you teencounseling.com for matching us. And thank you again Dr. Smith for working with me through a significant part of my journey.
Dr. Smith has been pivotal in helping me transform the way I think about the circumstances in my life. He is empathetic and a good listener. Highly recommend!
Dr. Smith was very easy to talk to. He listened to everything I said and responded without making me feel judged or like he was analyzing me. He asked questions that really made me think. He also made himself available if I needed to reach out in between sessions. I would highly recommend.
Thankful for Dr. Smith, definitely God sent.
