Adrianne Smith
As an empathetic therapist, I understand and share in my clients' emotions, creating a safe space for them to express their feelings openly and honestly.
I integrate CBT and solution-focused strategies to help clients better understand their emotions, build coping skills, and reconnect with their strengths.
My compassionate approach ensures that I not only empathize with my clients' struggles but also provide them with the support and encouragement they need to navigate their challenges with resilience and strength. Through insightful conversations, I help my clients gain new perspectives and self-awareness, guiding them toward a deeper understanding of their thoughts and behaviors.
First session
During your first therapy session, we’ll take time to get to know each other. We’ll review confidentiality and discuss any questions you may have about the therapy process. You’ll be invited to share what brings you to therapy, your current concerns, and any goals you hope to work toward. I may ask questions about your history, strengths, and supports to gain a clearer picture of your experiences.
