Daphne Smith

My communication style

I am open and honest, and believe that open communication as well as trust are the most important values for a therapeutic relationship. I do not judge others' personal beliefs or values, as I believe everyone has a right to their own opinion.

My journey to mental healthcare

I began my career working with people struggling with addictions. I was an addiction therapist while I finished my education in social work. I began working with children and families to assist in preventing the removal of children from their homes. This included children with difficulty with emotions, as well as school and family life.

My goals for you

Setting goals with clients should always be what the client's goals are. We work collaboratively to identify what matters most to you and create a plan that reflects your priorities and desired outcomes.

Our first session

Initial sessions with me involve getting to know each other, defining what to begin to work on, and what you, as the client, want to get from therapy.

I identify as...

• Female
• Caucasian or White
