Jill Smith

My communication style

I encourage open communication about how our work together is going for you. My goal is for you to meet your treatment goal. If you don't feel we are a good match or you're not developing a helpful rapport with me, please let me know, and I can assist you in finding someone who may be better.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've always enjoyed helping others. I chose clinical social work because of the many opportunities to help others. I decided on being a therapist when I learned that there were very specific treatment modalities I could be trained in to help others make the changes they want to make in their lives.

My goals for you

My focus is helping you reduce your suffering and get back to living.

Our first session

During the first session, we will discuss the circumstances around you seeking counseling, the symptoms you've been experiencing, I'll gather some history, ask about your strengths and supports, and we will formulate a treatment goal that you feel is realistic for you to work toward.
