Getting to know Mary Smith

If grief is weighing on you, reaching out can be the first step. You do not have to carry this alone. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and I specialize in supporting individuals who are experiencing grief related to death, illness, caregiving, and major life transitions. I help clients make sense of grief and how it shows up in daily life. My approach You don’t need the right words. We can sit with what feels heavy without forcing solutions. My approach is integrative and holistic, drawing on evidence-informed grief practices and dual process theory to help people move between grief and reconnecting with life in manageable ways. My focus Grief doesn't always look like sadness - it can show up as anxiety, numbness, irritability, or feeling stuck. You may be functioning on the outside while feeling disconnected on the inside. If you are feeling stuck in your grief, I am here to meet you exactly where you are and walk with you towards growth, healing, and renewed well-being. My communication style I utilize active listening, empathy & open-ended conversation to facilitate self-discovery & personal growth. As we work together, I will frequently ask for feedback about focus and progress in treatment. I want to know what is working and what is not so that we can work towards positive change that is meaningful and evident to you. My journey to mental healthcare I have sat with enough grief—my own and others’—to know that the hardest part is rarely the moment of loss. It’s the long, quiet after. It’s the empty seat at the table. My practice grew from late-night conversations with people who felt alone in their grief. From love for people and for the sacred, the human truth that our stories matter. My goals for you In our work together, you can expect a steady, non-judgmental environment where you can explore your story, build capacity for coping, and experience healing at your own pace.
