Getting to know Christopher Smith

My name is Blake Smith and I provide creative and compassionate mental health counseling with over 25 years of professional experience working in diverse school counseling and therapeutic settings. I graduated with honors from Western Carolina University in 2003 with a Master Degree in education & school counseling. I am honored to professionally support adolescents, families, and adults & young adults as they navigate life's various transitions, challenges and opportunities. My range of focus is diverse and includes: anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship repair and growth, bullying, self-leadership and wellness goals. My approach is grounded in empathy, collaboration, creativity, and evidence-based practices, ensuring that each client feels heard, understood, and empowered to create meaningful choices and change. I believe in creating a safe, nonjudgmental environment where individuals can explore their emotions, develop coping strategies, and build a stronger sense of self-worth. My goal is to help clients uncover their strengths, gain clarity, and create a path toward personal calm, connectedness, and lasting contentment.
