Emily E. Smith
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC, CADC, BC-DMT
I have over 20 years of experience as a therapist/counselor. I enjoy using a positive psychology approach to help motivate my clients to make lasting emotional and behavioral changes. I believe that therapy should be a collaborative process - we will work on treatment goals that we define together! I encourage my clients to trust their own process, engage in self-acceptance to promote an improved sense of self-worth. I like to integrate strategies including mindfulness and cognitive/behavioral approaches to improve coping and emotional regulation skills. I believe that helping individuals develop insight into emotional and relationship patterns is a key component of therapy.

Dr. Paige Hover
Psychologist, PsyD
If you are anxious and/or burnt out and are looking to go beyond fixing a problem or feeling better, I may be the psychologist for you. Think of me as a mental health personal trainer. I can provide some initial relief but also help you get a deeper understanding of yourself. I use a mix of mindfulness based coping skills and provide a form of cognitive behavioral therapy called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Along with some other approaches, we can work together to help you sustain long-term mental health improvement. I specialize in working with people who identify as perfectionists, high-achievers and people pleasers. I don't accept insurance but superbills can provided for potential OON reimbursement upon request.

Brett Swords
Psychologist, Ph.D.
You’ve taken a critical first step toward starting to feel better: you are exploring your options for therapy. For this, you should give yourself a pat on the back—starting the process of reaching out for help is never easy. The next step is finding the right therapist for you. I specialize in working with people who are not getting what they want or need out of relationships (including their relationship with themselves). Many of my clients describe being hard on themselves, having difficulty forming relationships, or not feeling fulfilled by their relationships.
