Getting to know Michael V Smith

Do you feel stuck, confused, and alone? My approach is unique in that it focuses on supporting individuals who desire to transform their lives and feel more empowered. I have extensive experience working with anxiety, stress, and trauma, as well as supporting those struggling with grief, loss, or life-threatening illnesses. I offer a warm and compassionate environment that encourages deep exploration. Holding a PhD in Clinical Psychology from Saybrook University, I believe miracles can happen daily. My mission is to provide a safe place for emotional, physical, and spiritual healing within an ever-evolving community of professionals who compassionately offer insight, guidance, and understanding.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I predominately work with clients who struggle with the effects of trauma, whether in the form of experience or grief and loss. During our initial sessions, we will delve deeply into the issues and collaborate to create a plan to help you regain your life. Most clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month, some more rapid, and most notice sustained improvement beyond.

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.
