My name is Beth Pilous-Smith (Licensed in OHIO and FLORIDA). As a therapist, I am passionate about empowering individuals. I aim to join you in successfully reaching your goals of repairing/resolving conflicts, lessening distress and emotional pain, solving problems, and enhancing your overall well-being. I work hard to create a safe, calm place where my clients feel supported and heard. While I have worked with clients with multiple therapeutic issues, I have spent many years specifically assisting clients with issues related to trauma, adoption, educational needs, attachment, divorce, parenting concerns, and mood disorders. Additionally, I am kink, polyamorous, nonmonogamy, and BDSM friendly. I have more than 30 years of experience working in mental health in clinical, school, and community settings. I enjoy working with all age ranges. I look forward to meeting you!

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, and then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I believe my biggest strength is being able to create an environment where the client knows that they are being listened to in an atmosphere that feels comfortable and genuine.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I enjoy working with clients in a variety of areas and age ranges and I will work to meet you where you are with your concerns. I have also worked in the areas of adoption, psychological testing and evaluation, and trauma. I am kink, BDSM, and polyamorous friendly.
