Getting to know Teja Smith

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time, enjoying one moment at a time accepting hardship as a pathway to peace This prayer stays near my heart as it has helped me remain resilient during my personal times of hardship. As a former foster child who entered foster care at the age of 12 and aged out, I have a passion for serving children and adolescents who have similar experiences. However, this does not limit my empathy for serving individuals and groups who are committed to improving their mental health. I am an older sister of 10 siblings 8 of them being all boys. Therefore, I have the skills, abilities, and patience to build therapeutic relationships with children and adolescents seeking to build resilience and fortitude in improving their mental health and wellbeing. My approach to therapy includes, Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Play Therapy, and Solutions Focused. I love to listen to music in my free time as well as spend time with friends and family enjoying a competitive game night. Looking forward to working with you
