Getting to know Fran Smith

Hello! I am a licensed professional counselor with a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Cleveland State University and over 25 years of experience in the field. I am predominantly a cognitive behavioral/rational living therapist who focuses on you, the client, your relationship with yourself, and creating the existence you’ve always wanted. I have a dry sense of humor and believe that honesty with my clients is the best way to help them reach their goals. My therapy style is conversational—I offer feedback and input throughout the session rather than sitting silently—and I assign homework to help each client practice the skills we discuss. I look forward to meeting you and being a part of your journey!

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.
