Getting to know Dion Smith
Hi there, I'm Dion!
Hello, my name is Dion Smith, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with a Master's in Counseling from National University. I focus on individuals and couples who are dealing with the everyday struggles of life. I strive to create a warm and collaborative approach to meet each client's unique needs.
My approach
My therapeutic approach is best described as eclectic to assist with meeting various client needs. I have a background in cognitive behavioral therapy, client-centered therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy.
My focus
I work with individuals from teens to the elderly and couples. I address anxiety, depression, life transitions, grief, relationship issues, trauma, and life coaching. My goal is to help clients develop the skills to navigate and overcome the various life challenges we all face.
My communication style
I offer a comfortable, supportive environment that allows you to be your genuine self. With a conversational approach, I spend time getting to know you, listening patiently and attentively to your concerns to determine the best path forward.
My journey to mental healthcare
I decided to pursue becoming a therapist after my experience working in corporate America. I found that people were always comfortable discussing details about themselves with me without prompting. I also discovered I could work well with people who were considered difficult in my workspace. Some of my gifts include patience and the ability to explain difficult situations in common language.
My goals for you
My approach to goal setting is collaborative. We will spend time sharing your background and core issues to help set appropriate and achievable goals in therapy. As you progress, we will continue to adjust your goals together to best support your growth.
