Hi there, I'm David!

Hi, my name is Dr. Dave Smith, and I am a licensed Marriage & Family Therapist. I entered my profession with a desire to help individuals and families overcome the struggles they face. I specialize in Clinical Mental Health, Addiction & Recovery, Couples and Marriage & Family Therapy.

My approach

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Strategic Therapy and Intergenerational Family Therapy

My focus

I work with a wide range of clients and demographic groups. I treat anxiety, depression, OCD, mood disorders, ADHD, personality disorder, autism spectrum, addiction, and sexual dysfunction.

My communication style

I use a client centered approach to working with clients that is based on the belief that each of us have the power to live our dreams, we just need help moving in that direction.

My journey to mental healthcare

There was a time when I needed therapy. I was blessed to work with an amazing therapist who helped me work through my struggles from there my path was clear. I want to spend my life helping others the way I was helped.

My goals for you

Setting goals and helping clients achieve them is a foundational part of therapy.
