Monica Smith, MA, LPC, RD

My counseling is deeply relationship based. I limit my caseload so that I know each of my clients in a way that allows for safety, vulnerability and mutually productive time together.

I specialize in treating trauma from a whole body perspective. Using the most current and the most effective treatment modalities, I help patients identify the root of their current trauma response with the goal of reducing or eliminating symptoms quickly.
​
By reclaiming your neurological system flashbacks, nightmares, intrusive thoughts, hyperarousal, hypervigilance and feelings of powerlessness can and will subside.
Trauma causes a neurobiological response. Character, morality or strength of will have absolutely nothing to do with the ability to heal. healing the brain's response to past traumatic events requires an approach that realigns your brain so that it perceives the world as a safe place when it is indeed safe,

I use a combined approach; cognitive behavioral therapy, somatic therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy Emotional Freedom Technique and EMDR. I am upfront and honest. I use humor, stories, analogies and connection as a way to create a space that is a safe place to heal.
