About Floyd Smith

As a licensed therapist with over four decades of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional circumstances. My practice centers on helping clients heal from trauma, manage grief, build self-esteem, and develop healthier communication patterns through trauma-informed care and client-focused treatment.

I bring a compassionate, culturally responsive approach to therapy, with deep expertise in addressing challenges like isolation, mood disorders, and post-traumatic stress. My work is particularly focused on supporting young adults and individuals from diverse backgrounds through nuanced, personalized therapeutic interventions.

Drawing from extensive clinical experience, I create a supportive environment where clients can explore difficult emotions, work through shame and guilt, and develop strategies for personal growth. My approach honors each person’s unique journey, emphasizing understanding, healing, and empowerment.

I am committed to providing affirming, thoughtful care that respects individual experiences and supports meaningful personal transformation.

“Mr. Smith is one of the best therapist I have experienced. He is such a blessing!”

“Floyd Smith is without a doubt one of the best therapists I have ever had in my life and I have had a number of them. If I had met Floyd earlier in my life I believe I could have avoided having to learn a number of very hard, expensive lessons. He is kind, caring, thoughtful, perceptive, intuitive and extremely knowledgeable. He helped me figure out ways to look at my situation that I hadn't been able to see. He gave me perspective on my situation which broke it down to size and made it seem manageable whereas before talking with Floyd I was all over the place with a seemingly insurmountable problem. Floyd is very authentic. I appreciate the fact he is an excellent therapist and I feel so fortunate I was able to have him as my therapist.”

“Floyd has offered me amazing insight on my struggles with life and how to work through past trauma.”

“Floyd not only listens to me but gives me attainable goals for each week that I'm finding very useful. He gives me things to think about daily and I'm already seeing a lot of improvement in my mental health and life perspective.”

“Floyd, is very in toon with his practice. He's honest and very profesional. I very much thank Floyd for being patience ans kind.”

“Mr. Smith is very genuine and pleasant. He listens well and respects me. He has provided options foe me to try to handle some of my issues. Looking forward to my next session.”

“Floyd listens to my requests and makes an effort to accommodate for my needs. I told him I need consistency and he makes an effort to meet around the same time each week. He’s comforting and accepting and really helps me achieve my goals.”
