Teyhou Smyth, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Teyhou!

I place a high value on personal development and allowing for the achievement of one's full potential so that one may become the best version of oneself.

My focus

I work with clients who are struggling in their romantic, professional, and family relationships and want to improve their relationships with others. I also work with clients struggling with attachment issues, including insecure attachment styles, and help them to achieve secure attachments.

My approach

I focus on relationships and attachment issues using Emotion Focused Therapy and Cognitive Behavior Therapy working from an attachment-based model.

My communication style

We work collaboratively and I assist you in understanding what healthy relational dynamics look like as well as improving your overall relational skills.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was fascinated by learning effective tools that could help improve my life and understanding of the world. Clinical work is a calling, and it was definitely mine.

My goals for you

We set goals together and acknowledge change in the process. All goals are achievable, but you have to be open to the process. I will support you every step of the way in your personal journey.

Our first session

Clients can expect to achieve clarity, be empowered, and have improved insight, which will inform them in better decisions in all aspects of their lives.
