More about Deborah Smith, LISW
Hi! My name is Deborah, and I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker. I work with children, adolescents, and adults and specialize in anxiety, depression, complex trauma, parenting, autism, bipolar disorder, and more. I aim to create a safe environment and build a trusting, nourishing relationship where you can start your journey of healing and growth.
My approach
I work from a strength-based therapeutic approach that is tailored to the needs of my clients. I use cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based intervention, spirituality, motivational interviewing, and trauma-focused CBT. Regardless of the modality, my approach is always trauma-informed and strengths-based
My focus
I work with children, adolescents, and adults and specialize in anxiety, depression, complex trauma, parenting, autism, bipolar disorder, behavioral challenges, and more. I am committed to providing support for families caring for children with various medical and cognitive challenges as they navigate through life changes.
My communication style
My style is a gentle, supportive, and non-judgmental approach. I want to create a safe place and build a trusting relationship where individuals can process and heal as they develop new confidence in their abilities to overcome life challenges.
My journey to therapy
When I was young, I volunteered for several programs for individuals with developmental disabilities and mental health concerns. I loved it and then watched individuals I knew go through traumatic events, and the help provided was invaluable to their healing. I decided at that time that this was the work I wanted to do for the rest of my career. I am driven to provide the same compassionate services to help others find healing.
