Getting to know Frances Smith

I strive to offer a safe, supportive, respectful environment where you. can freely express your goals for personal growth, fulfillment, and peace of mind. My approach I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and re-frame negative thinking. Other skills, such as Mindfulness and Self-Management Skills, will be incorporated to reach client goals. My focus I help adults navigate through depression, anxiety, and stress. My first session with you I see therapy as a collaborative endeavor. During our first session, we will set goals to work towards achieving the life you want to live. We will revise those goals as treatment progresses.
