“Dr. Smith was very welcoming and very easy to talk with! She listened to me and didn’t dismiss valid points I made about me not knowing who I was at my age because of so much life I have been forced to live in helping so many but me! I really enjoyed the session and look forward to UNPACKING MY LIFE SLOWLY IN OUT FUTURE SESSIONS!”

“I have seen numerous therapists and none of them were ever a good fit. That changed when I started meeting with Katherine in January. I love how in our first session, she asked me what kind of things that I needed from a therapist to ensure that we were a good fit. She is very empathetic but also direct when I need it. I really appreciate that when I am having a difficult time, she will ask me what I need from her to help me feel supported. She has played a major role in my healing journey.”

Getting to know Katherine Smith
Sometimes life just gets really hard, and we simply cannot find any joy or peace. Please know I am someone who will help you look for the joy or at least a "glimmer," but I am also a safe zone and will hold space for you to share whatever it is and listen without judgment. Most times, we just need our voice to be heard and understood. I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW-C) with a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Maryland. I am trained in many therapeutic modalities, so I am skilled and will help you with your anxiety, depression, stress, coping, life transitions, grief—you name it. However, I will always remember that you are a human being—a beautiful human who is deserving of feeling good, confident, competent, having a sense of purpose, and finding where you belong. I will share my knowledge and skills, hold you accountable as needed, and walk this part of your journey with you. You only need to show up. We will figure out the rest together!

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
