Getting to know Karem Smith

Hi! I’m Karem, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 11 years of experience working with adults. I earned my Master’s in Counseling Psychology, specializing in Marriage and Family Therapy, graduating with distinction. I specialize in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to help individuals process stuck memories, reduce anxiety and depression, and shift unhelpful relationship patterns. I have experience assisting adults navigating a variety of challenges, including reproductive and post-partum struggles, traumatic events and abuse, life transitions, and relationship difficulties. My goal is to support you in creating meaningful, lasting change. You don’t have to do this alone. I’m here to walk alongside you. In our first session together, here's what you can expect In your first session, we will focus on getting to know you and understanding what brought you to therapy. You can expect a warm, safe, and non-judgmental space where you feel heard and supported. I also provide psycho-education about trauma, the sympathetic nervous system, and how past experiences can shape your responses, so you gain insight into what’s happening in your mind and body. Together, we’ll identify your goals, explore what’s keeping you stuck, and begin taking steps toward relief, growth, and healthier patterns. My aim is to help you leave the session feeling understood, empowered, and hopeful about the path forward. The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions What stands out about my approach is the integration of evidence-based modalities such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Internal Family Systems (IFS) within a trauma-informed, strengths-based framework. With over 11 years of experience, I bring a depth of clinical expertise and have supported hundreds of clients in moving through trauma, anxiety, and relational challenges toward meaningful change.

In-network insurances

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.
