Getting to know Shakia Smith

Welcome! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of New York. I believe therapy is a collaborative and supportive process where you can feel heard, understood, and accepted without judgement. My approach is warm, compassionate and client centered. I strive to create a safe space where you can be open and honest about your experiences. Taking the time to understand you as a whole person- not just the challenges that brought you to therapy is paramount to the helping process. In our work together, we'll explore your thoughts, emotions, relationships and experiences while identifying practical strategies that can help you move toward the life you want. It is my belief that you are the expert of your own life, my role is to support and empower you along the way.

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.
