People do heal, and aiding you in creating your unique tale of growth and healing is my mission.
I'm Gwendolyn Smith, LCSW, licensed to practice clinical social work in Florida, Louisiana, Texas. I bring to the table 15 years of experience in marriage and family counseling, plus 12 years of mental health and substance abuse support.

My aim is to ensure that you feel secure and cared for as we tackle marital, addiction, or mental health issues such as depression or anxiety in a healthy and functional way. My approach to counseling is rooted in empathy, non-judgment and personalization.
I utilize proven therapeutic methods like cognitive behavioral therapy, rational emotive behavior therapy, motivational interviewing, and psycho-education, among others, tailoring our dialogues and treatment plans to your unique needs and concerns. My credentials include a B.Sc. in Psychology from Troy University, and a M.S.W. in Clinical Practice from the University of West Florida. I am also a proud NASW member.
