Xavier Smith, LCSW — Therapist in Georgia

Hi there, I'm Xavier!

Hi there, I'm Xavier Have you ever asked yourself why am I always stressed? Or how about, why do I feel all over the place emotionally? Nobody understands what I am going through, not even close family and friends. I'm here to help and meet you where you are. No fear, embrassment, or judgement just someone who supports, listens and empowers.

My focus

My ideal client is any client who selects me as their therapist and trust me with their most intimate details of their lives. I support my clients by creating a healthy and safe environment for them to express, explore, and establish who they want to be in this life. My goal is to empower my clients to intentionally choose what is best for yourself

My approach

I specialize in cognitive behavioral therapy, solution focused therapy, and psychodynamic therapy. I believe two things can be true at the same time. Understanding one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors across their entire life span is imperative. But so too is seeing results. Solution Focused therapy helps clients see and achieve desired results

My communication style

My communication style includes active listening, showing empathy and validation, non-verbal attunement, and reflective responding to assist/support clients.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to becoming a therapist began with my quest to answer the following questions we all have asked ourselves. Who Am I? Why do I think and act this way? In order to finally answer those questions about myself I needed to do the work. Thus, leading to me becoming a therapist for others who also want to answer their own questions.

My goals for you

I help my clients meet their goals by establishing a comprehensive treatment plan designed specifically to meet my client's specific goals. Additionally, I make sure both myself and client establish time frames/durations to make sure objective and goals are being met. Additionally I include periodic check-ins to address progress measures for goals.

Our first session

At our first session, my aim is to provide a safe space for you to express your thoughts and feelings about the matters in your life that truly matter. You will feel heard and understood. Imagine gaining someone in your support system who wants to listen to you and intentionally focuses on what you believe is important to you.
