“It’s hard to just select 2 therapy styles that Joshua incorporates. I selected holistic because he analyzes the whole and utilizes each style to develop a direct solution with a challenging goal. He’s intelligent with his work by citing useful resources and keeping an open mind about each topic. Not to mention his personality of being authentic, humorous, warm, and empowering. He makes you feel welcome and helps you in isolating issues then discussing potential outcomes for each issue.”

Getting to know Joshua Smith
Accepting new clients! Depression, anger, anxiety, and just trying to figure out how to make it in the world today can be difficult to do alone. My passion is to guide people through this journey to help them find peace in an otherwise chaotic world. If you are ready for change and want to talk to someone who can help you feel grounded and ready to face the world, please reach out to me.
I hold a Master's in Clinical Social Work from Texas State University and offer counseling utilizing CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) and ACT (acceptance and commitment therapy) principles to produce either positive changes in behavior or peaceful acceptance of things one cannot change. For clinically less intense but still troubling problems, I use personal coaching techniques and Motivational Interviewing. If you are dealing with depression, anger, or anxiety and want this type of change in your life, I am here to help.
I know you are probably tired of the struggles that have held you down in the past. It can be exhausting to try and do it alone. I hope your desire to see something different in your life encourages you to take the next step. I am available to talk if you are ready to begin this journey.
What should a new client know about working with you?
You can expect a warm and empathetic exchange when we are talking. I do not cast judgment on who you are or what you've done. I will challenge you to make changes, however, to help you get yourself unstuck from the challenge you want to overcome.

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.
