Getting to know Fillmore Smiley

Hi there, I'm Fillmore! Therapy begins with feeling heard, understood, and respected. I am down-to-earth, authentic, and collaborative. With mutual trust, we work toward meaningful change together. I help with anxiety, depression, grief, relationships, trauma, addiction, and difficult emotions and life circumstances. Genuine connection matters. Let’s take the first step. My focus I have experience with adults, couples, families, teens, and children. I have the aptitude to apply assessment, counseling interventions, and psychotherapeutic techniques to identify and remediate cognitive, mental, and emotional issues, including personal growth, adjustment to change, crisis intervention, and psychosocial / environmental problems. My approach I use an empathetic, empowering, strength-based, client-centered approach. I am an assimilated integrationist and a technical eclecticist, treating multiple populations. I am knowledgeable in the application of cognitive, affective, systemic, and holistic counseling strategies incorporating principles of development, maladjustment, and wellness. My communication style I communicate openly, directly, and without judgment. I encourage clients to speak honestly and openly, even when discussing difficult or uncomfortable topics. I listen thoughtfully, ask insightful questions, and create a comfortable environment where clients can feel at ease, build rapport, and engage constructively in the therapeutic process. My journey to mental healthcare My journey began in the helping professions in 2012. I wanted work with greater intrinsic value and a deeper opportunity to benefit others. I pursued advanced education and overcame significant obstacles with perseverance. I bring over 20,000 hours of experience across psychology, social work, substance abuse counseling, and clinical counseling.
