Getting to know Dr. Rosamond Smith

Hi there, I'm Rosamond! My name is Dr. Rosamond Smith, and I am a Licensed Psychologist based in Tacoma, Washington, working across the state via telehealth with adults of all ages. I earned my PhD in Counseling Psychology from the University of Louisville. I specialize in working with trauma, grief, insomnia, and people feeling "stuck" in general. I use Evidence-Based Practice to integrate the best available research with my clinical expertise in the context of my clients' characteristics, culture, and preferences. My approach I practice from a relational gestalt theoretical approach. Therapy begins by analyzing the client's understanding of their presenting problems. Using our collaborative relationship as a laboratory, we can then experiment with new ways of understanding and being in order to increase the capacity for creativity in thought and behavior. Empirically Supported Treatments such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapies and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, as well as adjunct interventions like Clinical Hypnosis, are used to build up internal resources and break down unhelpful understandings. My focus I typically work with individuals who feel "stuck" in some way, and/or whose needs are not being met. They may feel stuck in something such as trauma, grief, depression, or sleeplessness-or in something like a bad relationship, an unhealthy job, or a more general "rut." They have done the best they could with the internal resources and external support they had, but they realize now that old patterns are not serving them well, and they are seeking to move forward in new, healthier ways. My communication style In my role as a therapist, I try to be fully present and genuine with the client. I work in a collaborative environment, emphasizing and validating the client's experience rather than my expertise. I value authenticity, humor, creativity, and a more informal approach in sessions.
