Getting to know Darla Daniels-Smith

Starting therapy can feel like a big step. I congratulate you on starting your journey, and I’m here to make sure that it is meaningful to you. I specialize in working with individuals and veterans navigating life transitions, anxiety, depression, personal and relational challenges, substance use disorders, and many forms of trauma. I take a person-centered, collaborative approach to therapy, tailoring each session to your unique needs and goals. I welcome you to reach out whenever you feel ready to begin. I’m here to provide a safe and supportive environment where you can be yourself. My approach My training is in multiple evidence-based modalities to help clients with a variety of personal, developmental, emotional, and behavioral obstacles from acute or chronic stressors, mental health disorders, and the challenges that arise in life. I enjoy working with people from diverse backgrounds and personalities, helping clients discover their strengths while discovering new tools, skills, perspectives, and self-awareness to meet their individual needs. My focus I use an integrative approach while working with both adults and adolescents ages 13 and older, and believe that no single approach is right for every individual. My goal is to offer a supportive environment where you can fully express yourself, gain insight, and take steps toward personal growth that is unique to you. My communication style I prioritize clear, open communication by creating a supportive, non-judgmental environment with no pretense so you feel confident being yourself. I practice reflective and active listening, allowing you to reflect and share your experiences in your own time with an empathetic partner. My journey to mental healthcare My journey into the field of psychotherapy began at an early age with a deep curiosity about the brain, neurological psychology, and how each person has their own unique personality and experience.
