Getting to know Karyn Smiley

I am a graduate of National University with a Master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. I love working with couples, families, and other relationships. I enjoy exploring the family dynamic and believe we all exist and relate as part of a system. I also have a special connection to working with teenagers, a unique population close to my heart. Additionally, I have experience working in a jail setting, providing therapy to individuals with more severe mental illnesses such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and major depression. I have also supported families coping with having a loved one facing severe mental illness. I enjoy using solution-focused therapy because I believe we all have the inner strength to live the life we desire. I can help you find solutions that you already have!
