What patients are saying

“She's an absolute gem. I tried therapy before and did not feel that I could connect with therapists and she is the one that I was able to connect with. Her therapy style is very empowering and I never feel judged. It doesn't feel ingenuine either. She's done a great job at making me feel heard and understood as well as helping me create goals and achieve them for myself. Since starting sessions with her I feel that I have a new outlook on life in general.”

Getting to know Donita Smith
Hello and welcome!! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who offers a calm, welcoming presence and a space where clients feel safe being themselves. Many clients share that I’m easy to talk to, even when discussing difficult topics. My work focuses on anxiety, depression, ADHD, motivation, and family therapy, using a supportive and collaborative approach to help clients build emotional awareness, coping skills, and lasting change. I’m currently accepting new patients and would love to explore whether I might be a good fit for you-you don’t have to do this alone.

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.
