Hi, I’m Ryan Smith, LPC. I am eager to help you achieve your goals and would love to hear what concerns you have. I believe that my clients are the experts of their lives, and I will work to use your expertise and perspectives to work towards succeeding in your goals. I tend to think outside of the box and try to find unique solutions that are catered to you individually. I enjoy using cognitive-behavioral techniques (CBT) to address specific habits that might be standing in the way of your goals and living your best life.

Self Scheduling
I have knowledge and practice of many prominent counseling theories and will adapt my counseling approach to your needs and goals. I tend to implement a solution-focused approach in order to not only focus in on what your goals are, but also to get you to those goals as quickly as possible. While we develop solutions for your goals, I tend to think outside of the box and try to find unique solutions that are catered to you individually.
I have experience working with clients as young as 4 years old to clients in their senior years of life, and everything in between. I specialize in working with the LGBTQIA population, with issues such as identity and/or coping with oppression.
I am passionate about my role as your counselor, and I believe you will pick up on that passion from the very start of our journey together. Therapy can be a very vulnerable experience and helping you to be comfortable is a priority of mine. Looking for help is a monumental step towards change, and I hope that I can work beside you through the next steps!
