Charmaine Smith-Warden
I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, coping with grief, motivation, self esteem, confidence, life transitions, relationship issues and I will tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you during that process. I have a background in community mental health and outpatient services for individuals and families. I have also worked in early childhood education by developing a program for preschool and after school care. I have hope for healing when a person takes that first step.
First session
Your first session is the time to begin to share what brought you to therapy. You may be asked to complete assessments and provide information for your safety plan. Expectations will be described for a positive outcome.
Strengths
Therapy is a place to grow, heal and learn self compassion.
Ideal clients
I have a holistic and eclectic approach to psychotherapy. I will use interventions from evidence based modalities such as EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral therapy, Acceptance and Commitment therapy, Solution Focused, Mindfulness and Family systems therapy.
Treatment methods
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
I use an eclectic and holistic approach. I use other evidence based interventions along with ACT.

CBT can be used to bring awareness of behavior and thoughts that are negatively impacting y your daily life.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
DBT has four pillars. Interventions are helpful for skill building to improve coping strategies.
