Hello there! I'm Jessica Smith and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in California and working with clients statewide via telehealth. I provide a safe, non-judgmental environment where we will work together in developing skills and techniques to mindfully overcome whatever life may throw at you. I have experience working with individuals, couples, and families, helping them to navigate through the challenges of life. I am looking forward to working with you! I love empowering individuals to explore and discover their inner workings and creating opportunities for emotional healing and personal growth. I operate from a non-oppressive and affirming lens.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing or what brings you to therapy. We will also talk a bit about your history and goals for therapy. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
I am an open minded, non-judgemental, empathetic human who can create and hold a safe space for others to explore their inner workings.
I utilize a trauma informed integrative approach to therapy. This approach blends traditional talk therapy modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with holistic techniques such as mindfulness. I operate from a non-oppressive and affirming lens.
