LCSW, 5 years of experience
Hello, my name is Heather Smith. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master’s degree in Social Work from the University of Georgia. I currently in the State of Georgia. Are the demands of life overwhelming? Do you find it hard to manage all of your responsibilities? Feeling anxious, depressed or stressed? Dealing with grief or loss? Are you having relational problems? I offer both Christian and secular counseling through Tele-Mental Health. I have worked with clients dealing with anxiety, depression, grief and loss, stress, mood instability, interpersonal issues, work related challenges, divorce and a variety of other disorders. Life can be very challenging at times and I can help you to navigate some of its challenges. I look forward to working with you on your journey of wellness. Congratulations in taking the first step to becoming a better version of yourself.
I will spend the first session getting to know you and learning what led you to seek out therapy. Then, we’ll explore some of your unique challenges that will be the focus of our future sessions. I think that its important for my clients to acknowledge their wants and needs. From there we prioritize goals and begin to develop a plan to achieve said goals.
As a provider, my greatest strength is my compassion and helping clients understand their experiences while providing tools to overcome challenges and becoming the best version of themselves.
During our sessions, you will feel heard, supported and empowered. I am a good listener, compassionate and caring. I provide a positive, respectful and non-judgmental safe space where you can express your feelings and realize your potential.
CBT works great for those who enjoy having some homework between sessions. Change begins with awareness. I teach clients to "think about what they're thinking about" and take note of your feelings.
The goal of mindfulness is to learn to stay in the present moment without worrying about the past or future. To stay fully present with all your awareness and senses can sometimes be very difficult.

Words can't express how grateful I am to have Heather as part of my life. She has helped me grow into the person I was meant to be. She is truly a gem who cares about people. She doesn't hesitate to challenge you, which can be hard, but necessary in order to gain an understanding of your issues and gain the insight on how to push forward.
