Getting to know Mindy Smolka
My key goal is to help you reach your goals. Using a person-centered approach I am committed to earning your trust, creating a non-judgmental space and focusing on your strengths. To help build confidence and strengthen the ability to face life’s challenges, I utilize evidenced-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapies, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Assertiveness Training, Motivational Interviewing and Mindfulness techniques.
I am passionate about helping my clients find success. One method I use is to help clients see connections between our thoughts and behaviors about past events and core beliefs about ourselves. It is a privilege to help clients gain insight and begin to let go of the shame that is often related to the experience of trauma.
I enjoy working with adults as well as helping teenagers and their families. I also treat anxiety, depression, some personality disorders, mood disorders, suicidal ideation and other life struggles. I believe we all have the capability to make good choices and to experience healthy relationships and joy in our lives.

More information on payments and coverage
After scheduling your appointment through Zocdoc, you will receive a follow-up email from Tava with instructions to complete the necessary registration in our patient portal, including insurance and payment details. Placing a credit card on file is required to process insurance billing and any applicable deductible-related charges. Please complete your registration within 24 hours to ensure a smooth check-in and avoid delays in accessing care. If registration is not completed in time, we may not be able to verify your insurance coverage, which could result in unexpected out-of-pocket costs for your visit. Per our office policies, a fee may be charged for missed appointments or late cancellations.
