Getting to know Deborah Smith
My strengths as a therapist include listening not only to what people say but also to what they are not expressing. I strive to help clients identify the thoughts, feelings, experiences, and people involved in their presenting problems and assist them in resolving these issues. I am patient and treat clients with kindness, respect, and empathy. I hold a Master's in Social Work from Our Lady of the Lake University.
What should a new client know about working with you?
"My therapy style is relaxed, patient, supportive, and focused. I will collaborate with you to determine your goals and the best approach to achieve them. I approach treatment from a holistic perspective, including the physical, emotional and spiritual, in the context of the client's lifestyle and environment.
Clients can expect me to listen to what they say, to clarify meaning when needed and to check in with them to confirm that we are on track for the stated goals and that any questions/concerns are answered. "

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.
