Hello, I'm Amber, a dedicated and compassionate trauma-informed therapist committed to providing a safe and empathetic space for individuals on their healing journey. With a background in psychology and extensive training, I bring a holistic approach that integrates psychodynamic, person-centered, mind-body approach and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques to support clients in their path to recovery. Incorporating a mind-body approach in therapy involves recognizing and addressing the interconnectedness of mental and physical health. This approach may include techniques such as mindfulness, deep breathing, or progressive muscle relaxation to help clients become more aware of how their thoughts and emotions influence their physical sensations. By integrating practices that focus on bodily awareness and self-regulation, therapists can help clients manage stress, reduce anxiety, and improve overall well-being. My psychodynamic orientation allows me to help clients delve into the unconscious aspects of their psyche, understanding how past experiences shape current thoughts and behaviors. Through this exploration, we work together to identify patterns, gain insight into unresolved conflicts, and promote long-term personal growth. In addition to the psychodynamic approach, I integrate person-centered therapy principles, emphasizing the importance of the therapeutic relationship. I believe in the inherent goodness and resilience of individuals and strive to create a space where clients feel heard, valued, and empowered to navigate their unique healing process. Furthermore, my practice incorporates elements of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), focusing on identifying and challenging negative thought patterns and behaviors. This approach allows us to develop practical strategies for coping with the impact of trauma, fostering resilience and promoting positive change. With a commitment to ongoing professional development and staying informed about the latest advancements in trauma treatment, I am dedicated to providing evidence-based and client-centered care. I am here to support you on your journey towards healing, personal empowerment, and a more fulfilling life.

I completed my masters (MSW) and Ph.D. degrees in social work and am also a full-time university instructor. My work experience includes 20 years of direct clinical practice, along with teaching in higher education, clinical supervision, and research. Therapy begins within a safe space for expression, processing and problem-solving, and growth. Every person has the strength and abilities to work through the challenges they face. My role is to promote empowerment and provide clarity, insight, and support as clients master these challenges. I am a steadfast advocate for LGBTQ+ clients and families and racial and social justice. Specialties: • Bipolar Disorder • Depression • Anxiety • Obsessive-compulsive and panic disorders • Personality disorders • Stress management • Stigma and self-stigma • Self-Injury/self-defeating behaviors • Relationship and family stressors • Significant life changes and transitions • Self-esteem **Please note: I do not provide services for trauma (intimate partner violence; domestic, emotional, physical, or sexual abuse or assault). If trauma (past, present, or recent) is the primary reason for seeking treatment, an expert/specialist is needed to provide specialized, trauma-informed care. **For information about alternate fee options, visit https://openpathcollective.org/clinicians/kristin-smyth/ --> MY PRACTICE LOCATION IS CHANGING: 1975 E SUNRISE BLVD, FORT LAUDERDALE 33304 (BEGINNING DECEMBER 8, 2025)

Hello! I'm Jessica, a licensed mental health counselor with over thirteen years of professional experience. I specialize in working with teens and adults, providing individual and couples therapy. I have experience in assisting clients in addressing trauma (past, recent, or present), anxiety, difficult transitions, coping with grief and loss, and various other life stressors. I'm a firm believer that an individual's inherent strengths can aid them in navigating life's challenges. Seeking help is a challenging first step, and it requires bravery to make that move. I am excited to join you on your path of growth and healing!

Hey there ! I completed graduate course work in Human Development and Psychology at Harvard University, focusing primarily on challenges faced by the LGBTQ community, in relationships and in society as a whole. I have a Masters Degree in Mental Health from Cambridge College in Cambridge Massachusetts. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Master Certified Addiction Professional (MCAP) in the State of Florida, practicing as a psychotherapist for over 15 years. While I have been trained in many different styles and “theories,” my helping approach is fairly straight forward and draws on many different traditions: In my view, there is no doubt that what we have experienced in the past shapes who we are and how we see ourselves, others and the world. Therapy is a process of connecting the dots between where we have been and how those experiences influence our thinking and behavior today. Often, our past experiences have us thinking and acting in ways that are irrational and self-defeating, causing problems in all areas of our lives. I provide a safe, non-judgmental, and unconditionally supportive space for folks to share who they are and what they have been through. I partner with them in taking what we might call a “therapeutic microscope” to the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that accompany the circumstances of their lives, supporting them in reinforcing what works and finding alternatives to what does not.

I was once told "the happiness of your life depends on the quality of your thoughts". Since then, I have become a firm believer that we are ultimately the author and master of our own life's story. Have difficult relationships, grief, trauma, world events, family dynamics, or even daily life stressors made you feel otherwise? Let me help you find the narrative threads that will assist you in reweaving the fabric of your life.

I have more than 15 years of experience in child welfare, behavioral health, and mental health, with a specialization in system improvements. Throughout my career, I've demonstrated a track record of leading innovative programs aimed at supporting children and families. Previously, I served as the CEO for the Children's Advocacy Center on the Treasure Coast and as the COO for Hibiscus Children’s Center, where I successfully implemented the Sanctuary Model, an organizational change model grounded in trauma theory. During my time at Hibiscus, I held multiple roles, including Director of Mental Health Services and Program Coordinator for the Sexual Abuse Treatment Program. My commitment to providing transformative care and my dedication to advancing the mission of mental health advocacy have been the driving forces behind my work. I currently serve as the Clinical Director at Remedy Therapy, where I continue to utilize my expertise in child welfare, behavioral health, and mental health. In this role, I am dedicated to overseeing the implementation of effective therapeutic interventions and ensuring the provision of high-quality care to our clients. My focus remains on driving positive outcomes for individuals and families while fostering a supportive and collaborative work environment within the organization. I hold a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from Florida Atlantic University, a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from South University, and an MBA from Liberty University, which I obtained in 2017. Additionally, I am a licensed mental health counselor and qualified supervisor for registered mental health interns seeking licensure. Beyond my professional endeavors, I am also a devoted wife to my husband Preston and a proud parent to our 9-year-old daughter named Penelope. Our family is completed by our beloved Aussie Doodles named “Goose” and "Maverick".
