Getting to know Dave Smith

Hi there, I am Dr. Smith. Do you need a therapist who encourages, motivates, and instills hope to empower you to take control of your struggles and live the best version of yourself? Life, love, and relationships often come with unique challenges that can make us feel pulled in many directions. These challenges, combined with work and financial stress, can leave us exhausted and dissatisfied with life. I help individuals, couples, and families identify stressors so that together we can begin the healing process and improve your quality of life and relationships. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, substance abuse, or relationship issues, I am here to help. I use an approach centered around compassion, empathy, and the belief that all of us have worth and dignity. The evidence-based techniques I employ will give you hope as we work toward the change that led you to therapy. I hold a Master's degree in Mental Health Counseling from Liberty University, which has equipped me with the skills and knowledge to support you effectively on your journey to wellness.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Sessions will help you learn to identify emotions and thoughts that can negatively affect your behaviors and relationships. Each session will be an opportunity for personal growth that leads to more satisfaction and a more rewarding life.

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.

Dr. Smith is fantastic. He listens and then tries to help you find the best solution for you.
Felt called to start this journey. Every day I understand more and more why.
Couldn't recommend him enough

Overall great provider
Dr. Dave cuts thru BS and Crap. (He's knows the ABC's ... Authentic - BS - Crap. Sorry, but I've finally got a sense of humor back and I could not resist. Thank you.) After going thru a number of years of doubts, despondency, depression and sometimes despair, I feel more lighthearted; there is often a smile on my face; I know I have VALUE; and so important, I have purpose. Almost 80, for the first time in many years, I find I am really looking forward to the future. I am truly planning for tomorrow, next week and quite possibly 4 or 5 years out. Thanks so very much, Dr. Dave. This is really rather awesome. JYH
He's a blessing. He is intelligent, gets to the root of the topic and still maintains a warm, caring demeanor. I used to hate therapy but I actually look forward to our weekly sessions! It's an immediate sense of comfort and openness, has been since the first session. I came to him after problems I caused myself and still he motivates me, promotes me, encourages me and never cuts me down. I always feel like a weights been lifted and a sense of hopefulness when we conclude our session. It's clear that he knows what he is doing, I have and feel full confidence in him. Be it your first time in therapy or if you've ever had a bad experience with therapy I especially recommend you give him a chance, you'll be glad you did.
