Getting to know Joelle Smorada

What should a new client know about working with you?

I may have skills to offer and insights to share, but you are the expert on your life and what you would like out of therapy. I welcome feedback from clients, allowing them to make this experience their own. I believe in working collaboratively using a strengths-based approach as I take the time to understand my clients and their unique needs and goals.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I hold the philosophy that everyone has the tools within themselves to reach their goals, especially when given the right opportunity and support. Therapy can be an opportunity to find balance by getting in touch with who you are and providing direction for where you want to go. I recognize that opening up to someone can be challenging, which is why I focus on building a trusting therapeutic relationship and providing a safe environment to explore and process life's experiences and emotions. I use a warm and friendly approach to help clients to identify their strengths and to support them as they work toward their goals.
