Getting to know Darionne Smith
I know emotions can be a super weird but important part of human existence. I really enjoy helping people navigate those big emotions as well as other life struggles.
My approach
I'm here to walk alongside you during difficult moments in your life, and I always tailor my therapeutic approaches to whatever my clients' interests are. So, if you hate writing, let's not journal! But let's find something else that you enjoy and can be therapeutic for your healing. My clients always receive a treatment approach that's tailored to both their needs and preferences. My ultimate goal is to support you in any way that I can!
My focus
I work with clients as young as six up to clients in their sixties and seventies, but I especially enjoy working with adolescents. In addition, I specialize in helping people manage anxiety & depression, practice better boundaries, increase self-esteem, develop stress management skills, and navigate both interpersonal relationships and life transitions. Cognitive-Behavioral, Person-Centered, and Motivational Interviewing are just a few techniques that I use to work with my clients.
My communication style
I'm extremely laid back and implement a conversational approach with all clients. My aim is to create a calm, safe environment that allows you to feel comfortable enough to open up about whatever is on your heart and mind. All emotions and feelings are valid in my office, whether in person or via telehealth!
My journey to mental healthcare
I've experienced my own struggles with mental health over the years, so I know firsthand, not just from an academic/training standpoint. how difficult/heavy these things can be. My passion for the field comes from a deeply personal space, and that is why I work so hard to help and support my clients as they embark on their own journeys.
My first session with you
I always "joke" that the first session is the most "boring" one we'll ever have, and that's because it can be!
