Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, LPC
*Free Consultation* With 6 years of experience working in schools, ranging from elementary to college, I intricately and intimately understand the unique challenges that accompany childhood and adolescence.

I specialize in helping younger individuals successfully manage their growing pains and navigate through the complex and informative years of change and transition, so that they are able to build a strong and healthy foundation from which to flourish and thrive.

Alexis Smith
Pre-Licensed Professional, MHC-LP
I work with children and adolescents navigating emotional, behavioral, or identity-related challenges during important stages of development. Together, we create a supportive, developmentally appropriate space where they can better understand and express their emotions, build healthy coping skills, and strengthen communication and self-awareness. My approach is engaging, collaborative, and tailored to the child or teen’s needs, helping them feel heard while also learning practical tools they can use in daily life. When appropriate, I also work with caregivers to support consistency, strengthen understanding, and promote lasting progress at home and in other settings. The goal is greater emotional stability, confidence, and healthier relationships for both the client and their support system. If you’re looking for support for your child or teen, I invite you to reach out or explore my profile to learn more.
