Stacy J Smith
I offer multiple modalities grounded in Christian therapy. The Christian-based approach uses the Bible as the authoritative and infallible Word of God to man. As such, it may be understood as the "how to" manual for the human mind.
Throughout the years I have gained useful experience working with a wide range of population, while developing a speciality area in the treatment of women’s issues and challenges.
I have been a dedicated and compassionate advocate for clients with moderate to advanced therapy needs for several years and try to approach each client with compassion and respect. Throughout the years I have gained useful experience working with a wide range of population, while developing a speciality area in the treatment of women’s issues and challenges. We will work together to build a treatment plan that encourages your success.
First session
During the first session we will begin to get to know each other through a brief introduction. Then we will begin to explore the reason and situation that encourages you to reach out and seek help. We will begin to narrow down and build a treatment plan focused on your success.
Strengths
I have developed the ability to build a healthy and safe rapport with my clients. They often state that they feel very comfortable and at ease speaking to me. We are able to identify the root cause of your presenting problem fairly quickly due to the trust factor that is built.
Ideal clients
I love working with women that are facing life transitions and new challenges. Often times these changes and challenges can feel overwhelming to women and they began to experience depression and anxiety. These ladies are ready to improve their lives and overcome the feelings of defeat through behavioral changes and a commitment to see these come to fruition.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Over the past 20 years, I have helped many clients overcome their reoccurring thoughts that lead to anxiety and depression by utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. CBT challenges your thinking and shows you how your thoughts, feelings and behaviors influence each other.
Christian Counseling
The Christian based approach focuses on life changes by placing the Lord's will and the guidance at the center of the sessions. I believe the Bible is the authoritative and infallible Word of God to man. As such, it may be understood as the "how to" manual for the human mind.
