Getting to know Dwyana Smithen-Lewis

Hi there, I'm Dwyana! I am a Certified Holistic Practitioner. Who am I? I am HER: Hopeful, Empowered, Resilient. I am great. I am divine. I deeply believe every one of us embodies the same greatness, the same divine essence. My mission is to help individuals recognize their potential, embrace their unique strengths, and step boldly into a brighter, more fulfilling future. My therapeutic approach is built on compassion, cultural understanding, and a commitment to personal growth. Drawing from my West Indian heritage and 10 years of service in the U.S. Navy, I bring a well-rounded perspective that acknowledges the challenges people face and the resilience they possess. I hold a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a Master’s in Counseling from Liberty University, equipping me with the knowledge and skills to support clients effectively. I believe therapy should be collaborative, empowering individuals to push beyond comfort zones, learn from life’s trials, and create lasting change through new habits and patterns. I focus on helping clients cultivate emotional wellness, navigate major life transitions, and build skills to thrive in adversity. Whether developing healthy coping strategies, improving communication, or fostering inner strength, my goal is to guide clients toward greater self-discovery and empowerment. My approach centers on creating a safe, non-judgmental space where clients explore experiences and make meaningful changes. I see therapy as a collaborative journey emphasizing growth, resilience, and self-empowerment. I tailor interventions to each individual’s needs, drawing from evidence-based methods to help clients achieve goals. Common approaches I use include Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps clients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors while learning healthier coping strategies.
