I love how she doesn't judge us. How she let's us talk and work through things. She keeps us both engaged and gives us homework and makes us follow up on our homework. She's very encouraging and really knows how to control her emotions with us as well.(we can be very annoying) She stays very neutral and isn't afraid to address the elephant in the room. I appreciate her so much.

I appreciate the attention to detail, compassion, and authenticity Dr. Smith provides. After my first session with her, I feel as if a weight has been lifted off my chest. Although we still have much to discuss and learn about myself, she has already given me new things to try. I look forward to my next session with her.

She listened to the little details I mentioned while talking with her. She was attentive and very seemed very thoughtful with her responses during our conversation.
