Millicent Smith

My communication style

I lead with a casual, down-to-earth communication style. I believe therapy works best when you can be your authentic self, so I bring my own authenticity to the room. I use humor to help navigate heavy topics and provide straightforward feedback. You can expect an environment that is both lighthearted and deeply committed to your progress.

My journey to mental healthcare

My path to becoming a therapist began with my own seat on the couch. As a person in long-term recovery, I know firsthand the courage it takes to seek help. A therapist once changed the trajectory of my life by seeing my potential when I couldn’t; today, I am honored to pay that gift forward by helping you navigate your own path to healing.

My goals for you

We reach your goals through a collaborative, evolving process. I don’t just set a plan and walk away; we constantly check in and re-evaluate what is working for you. Most importantly, I leave room for 'failure' and missteps. I view those moments as valuable data, not setbacks, helping you stay motivated and kind to yourself as you grow.

Our first session

Our first session is all about comfort and connection. It’s a low-pressure space for us to get to know each other and for you to share what’s been on your mind. We’ll discuss your goals and what you hope to get out of therapy, but there’s no right or wrong way to show up. My priority is making sure you feel safe and heard from day one.
