Sascha Smith, NCC, LPC-MHSP, LMHC

II am a dedicated individual, Adult, Child, Teen, and Family Therapist with a passion for helping individuals, families, and caregivers navigate life's challenges. With 10 years of specialized training and experience in counseling, I provide a safe and supportive space for clients of all ages to explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.

For adults, I delve into a variety of challenges including anxiety, depression, and relationship difficulties. By employing evidence-based techniques tailored to individual needs, I guide clients in cultivating self-awareness and building effective coping strategies. This process not only focuses on overcoming immediate obstacles but also emphasizes personal growth and resilience. Together, we work to create a foundation for emotional well-being, empowering clients to navigate life's complexities with confidence and grace. Through our sessions, clients can expect to gain valuable insights and tools that will enhance their overall quality of life, fostering healthier relationships and a greater sense of fulfillment.

In my work with children, I employ a variety of creative and play therapy techniques to assist them in expressing themselves and processing difficult experiences in a developmentally appropriate way.

With teens, I focus on issues such as self-esteem and peer relationships, empowering them to build their resilience. My approach to family therapy is centered on improving communication, strengthening relationships, and fostering understanding among all members. I approach each client with empathy, respect, and a nonjudgmental attitude, aiming to create a therapeutic alliance based on trust and mutual growth.

Between sessions, a therapist often finds themselves engaged in a variety of personal activities that allow them to recharge and reflect. They might take a long walk in nature to clear their minds, savor a cup of coffee while reading a compelling book, or practice mindfulness through yoga or meditation. Engaging in these activities not only helps manage their own well-being but also provides fresh perspectives that can be valuable in therapy sessions. Whether it’s cooking a new recipe or spending quality time with loved ones, these moments of self-care and enjoyment are essential for maintaining balance in a helping profession.
