With over 20 years of training and experience, I hold a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology, a Masters degree in Psychology, and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology.

Individual counseling provides an opportunity for you to talk openly about your thoughts and feelings in a safe and non-judgmental environment. With children, play therapy provides an additional outlet for those children who cannot yet verbalize thoughts and feelings. Together, we can work through your concerns. Family dynamics can often be challenging, whether you have a traditional or non-traditional family, and I can help. I work with a variety of clients including children, adolescents, adults, and those within the LGBTQ community.
I additionally work daily in a counseling environment with a variety of issues, including trauma, mental health diagnoses, and behavioral and coping interventions. I know life can be difficult to navigate, often throwing us curve balls. Believe me, I have been there. I offer a level of personal compassion as well as professional expertise.

Tim Smith, Clinical Mental Health Counseling Intern
Work Experience
I have a broad career history focused on serving people in crisis. I received my undergraduate degree from Clarks Summit University (BS in Biblical Studies). I will soon be graduating with a Master of Science degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Grand Canyon University, graduating with honors. I was elected to the Alpha Chi Chapter of the National College Honor Society. I am also a member in good standing with the American Counseling Association.
My expertise gained from working in healthcare and law enforcement gives me unique insight into the stresses associated with being a first responder. Trust me, I have been there and have navigated through issues, finding incredible value through therapy. My expertise, gained from working in blue-collar settings in a steel mill and manufacturing, helps provide a balanced approach, enabling me to relate to a vast population.
My counseling focuses on PTSD, trauma, and crises. A core philosophy that all mental health issues affect couples and families produces a focus on couples and family therapy. Healthy couples and families build a strong community and hope for future generations.
You will find me easy to talk to as we collaborate to resolve issues that brought you to counseling. Seeking help is not a sign of weakness. It takes courage to face life’s problems.
The counseling setting will be a comfortable and safe place where issues that are important to you, whether you see them as big or small, are important to me.
