Welcome! My name is Bria Smith and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Michigan and I am also licensed in New Jersey. I received my Bachelor's degree from Oakland University and shortly went on and received my Master's degree from Wayne State University. My clinical focus during my Master's program was in the Psychodynamic Theory and the Family Systems Theory. Most of my work history has been in community mental health, so I had the privilege of being exposed to many different types of mental health concerns and diagnoses (i.e. anxiety, depression, personality disorders and bipolar disorders). I understand the complexity of the human experience and I’m fully aware there is no “one size fits alI” treatment approach for everyone. This is why I prioritize meeting my individuals where they are and figuring out what is going to work best to serve them at that time! I am eager to collaborate with individuals and help them see realistic and sustainable change in their lives.

In a therapeutic setting, we will work together to discover healthier ways for you to deal with life’s struggles, make desired changes, improve relationships, and find inner healing.

Welcome! I have been in the counseling field for over 19 years. I provide counseling services for individuals 16 years of age & older. I believe people seek counseling for several reasons. They may want to improve a life situation, solve a problem, make a decision, or achieve a greater understanding of life. Anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and social issues often accompany the desire to change. I am here to help you identify and work through these challenges by finding practical solutions to them. Counseling is a joint effort, where I support and encourage your hard work, courage, and commitment to create the life you desire. I am a friendly, compassionate & enthusiastic person. I utilize a variety of counseling techniques from an eclectic collection of theoretical orientations based on the needs and strengths. I specialize in working with individuals on various topics. Once we establish an understanding of your situation, we work together to achieve mutually agreed upon goals. I use a dynamic, personalized approach. I am highly empathetic to people's lived experiences. Areas of interest: Adjusting to life events or changes Coping with stress Anxiety Depression Low self-esteem/Low-self confidence Wanting to make a change in their life and need support Medical advocacy Parenting I also love working with young professionals who are in the first few years of their careers. My clients are eager to improve, but don't yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality. They often feel stuck, overwhelmed and anxious about their careers.

Dr. Alexis (she/they) is a queer, neurodivergent, Latinx therapist and guide who supports Women of Color, LGBTQ+ folks, and late-diagnosed neurodivergent individuals navigating burnout, identity, and relational healing. Using the *The Restorative Thread* methodology she developed, she weaves together narrative therapy, somatic practices, and culturally grounded care to help clients unmask, reconnect, and reclaim their truth—in their own time and in their own way. Many of her clients are deeply capable and outwardly composed, yet inwardly carrying exhaustion, disconnection, or the weight of constantly being “on.” Dr. Alexis offers a restorative, affirming space where you can explore who you are *beyond survival*, and begin to live more fully aligned with your essence embodiment.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by New Jersey rather than a city like Newark?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in the state. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across New Jersey from Jersey City to Paterson! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in New Jersey.

Will my therapist take Evernorth?

Yes! If you use Evernorth you’ll be asked to verify your Member ID at the time you book the appointment. However, if you don’t have Evernorth you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on a specific issue?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need.

What are the "Clients say I'm" badges?

Grow Therapy asks patients about their experience with therapists after they have had a certain number of sessions. After enough responses, we add those characteristics to their profiles to help you find the best online therapists for you. We're still working on collecting this information from all our therapists.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What to expect during your first session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs.

Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center. Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
