Getting to know Belinda Smith

Hi there, I'm Belinda! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master’s in Social Work from California State University Long Beach. I have worked with multiple age groups and populations in this field, and there is always something new to learn. I find helping others my life’s goal. My approach I have over 20 years of experience in the mental health field. I strongly believe in meeting a person where they are at and fostering a client-centered approach to recovery. My focus I have worked with a wide variety of disorders and have extensive experience with people experiencing depression, anxiety, work stress, crisis, relationship problems, behavior problems, and school stress. I have assisted with Life Coaching, Solution-Focused therapy, ACT, CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and goal setting. My communication style I prefer to create a partnership with my clients on their journey to recovery. I like to foster a safe and judgment-free space to explore life challenges and obstacles. My journey to mental healthcare I have always wanted to help others, and I started this journey after I left the military. I wanted to help homeless veterans, which led me to expand my ability to help others. My goals for you I work with my clients on identifying goals and breaking them down into achievable steps. My first session with you I like to build rapport, gather a history, identify stressors, and discuss goals.
