Rasheim Smith, LCSW, LICSW — Therapist in New York

Hi there, I'm Rasheim!

I provide culturally competent, compassionate care to children, individuals, couples, and families. Whether you're seeking support with personal growth, managing stress, building stronger connections, or addressing everyday life issues, I can help.

My focus

As a Black male clinician, I offer a unique perspective and a deep commitment to supporting clients from diverse backgrounds, especially those from marginalized communities.

My approach

My therapeutic approach is tailored to address challenges like anxiety, depression, relationship issues, life transitions, and trauma, integrating evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy(CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Trauma-Informed Care.

My communication style

I aim to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard and empowered to explore their concerns and achieve their goals.

My goals for you

With a background in leadership and direct clinical practice, I value collaboration and holistic care. I aim to help clients develop tools to foster resilience and navigate life's complexities.

Our first session

In our first session, you can expect a warm, welcoming, and collaborative conversation where we begin to establish our therapeutic relationship. We will discuss confidentiality, your reason for therapy, gather information on your background, set goals, and explore your preferences for therapy.
