Getting to know Diana Smith

Hi! My name is Renee, and I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 10 years of experience. I earned my Master's in Counseling Psychology from Argosy University, San Diego, in 2013, after completing my Bachelor's degree at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Since then, I have worked in various clinical settings. I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused CBT, Attachment Therapy, and Systems work. I believe therapy is a way for a person to open up parts of themselves in order to work on the inner layers of self. My experience includes working with cases involving severe trauma, addictions, family conflict, depression, anxiety, as well as other stress and adoption/foster care-related issues. Whatever you may be experiencing, you have made the first step in seeking out support. Together, we can work on strategies that can aid you in gaining insight into your life. I look forward to meeting you and am eager to be part of your journey.
