More about Kalisha Smith, LCSW
Dr. Kalisha Smith is a highly qualified and experienced professional in the behavioral health field, holding a Doctor of Social Work (DSW) from Simmons University, a Master of Social Work (MSW) from New York University, and a Bachelor of Arts in Social Work from Lehman College. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Credentialed Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Counselor, she has amassed over 10 years of expertise. Dr. Smith's therapeutic approach is rooted in collaboration with clients, utilizing culturally relevant techniques to provide support and guidance during pivotal moments in their lives.
My approach
In my therapeutic practice, I prioritize the individual's journey toward overcoming feelings of emptiness and rediscovering hope and fulfillment in their lives. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy to facilitate meaningful change, enhance self-understanding, and achieve tangible growth, inner peace, and resilience. Overall, my therapeutic approach is tailored to each client's unique needs, fostering a collaborative environment that promotes growth, self-reflection, and meaningful change.
My focus
In my professional practice, I specialize in providing therapy to a specific client demographic, primarily focusing on Black Millennial Women and Black Professionals. I address a range of psychological challenges they may face, including anxiety, depression, perinatal concerns, and relationship issues encompassing familial, romantic, and friendships. Moreover, our sessions delve into exploring the unique stressors and mental imbalances that can arise from navigating the professional world as a Black woman, as well as the broader experiences of being a Black individual in a modern-day Eurocentric America.
My communication style
My therapeutic approach combines directness and assertiveness with compassion and empathy, which may seem like an unconventional combination. However, I believe in guiding clients toward self-discovery
