I began my career working in family crisis services, including child protection and foster care. I’ve also supported individuals with disabilities and provided career guidance through my work with the state. While these experiences have shaped my approach, individual and group counseling are truly where I feel most passionate and effective. I am a Christian and draw strength from my faith. For clients who would like to incorporate spirituality into our work, I am happy to do so. At the same time, I fully respect and support clients who prefer a non-spiritual approach—your comfort and goals guide the process.

Have you ever found yourself thinking, “I just need someone to truly listen”? Every voice matters from the quietest, most silenced parts of you to the loudest thoughts that won’t seem to settle. If you’re looking for a space where you can speak freely, without judgment, and feel genuinely heard, I would be honored to be that person for you. Sometimes it helps to talk with someone outside of family or friends someone whose role is simply to support, understand, and walk alongside you. My name is Eboniqua Smith and as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with eight years of experience, I have had the privilege of supporting many children, teens, and adults through life’s challenges. I understand the complexities of trauma, the weight of daily stress, and how overwhelming today’s world can feel.

Whether it’s anxiety that keeps you small, relationships that hurt more than they heal, old wounds that still steer the ship, depression, burnout, or the simple feeling that “there has to be more than this”; whatever it is, we’ll face it together, at your pace, with whatever approach serves you best in this moment. In our work together, we may sometimes dive into the echoes of the past, other days we may stay fiercely in the present with your emotions and change the patterns of today that make up the future. I meet you as you are, without judgment, with curiosity, and with a quiet confidence that you already carry everything you need to live a freer, richer life.

Please note I specialize in working with individuals and their caregivers on issues surrounding serious illness, fertility/infertility, onco-survivorship, and postpartum support and am accepting new clients with these concerns. We all have fundamental needs: To belong, to feel understood, to give and receive love, to feel financially secure, to be free from pain. My approach to therapy begins with addressing the impetus that led to scheduling that first appointment, to then addressing core basic needs like sleep, nutrition and social connections. We will work to develop an awareness into emotional states and behaviors that arise out of them. Sometimes, it is the actions of others that are the primary source of our own distress. Even then, we can focus on what is in our control to improve our coping and circumstances.

My name is Michael Starr, and I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker. I believe therapy is more than just problem-solving, it’s a place to rediscover who you are, heal what’s been hidden, and move forward with clarity and strength. I work with individuals, couples, and families facing anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, identity questions, and emotional overwhelm. My style is honest, grounded, and deeply respectful of the human experience. I use evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused CBT, but I also hold space for what cannot always be explained, your story, your meaning, your growth. Clients often come to me feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure of how to move forward. Together, we uncover the patterns keeping you there and build the insight, skills, and resilience to move through them. You won’t be rushed or judged. You’ll be heard, supported, and challenged when needed. You don’t have to have all the answers. You just have to be willing to start. Healing begins with one honest conversation, and I’m here to take that step with you.
