About Naomi Smith

My name is Naomi Smith. I am a licensed master social worker with 24 years of experience in working in mental health and also providing therapeutic services to Individuals.

My primary focus as a clinician is helping my clients meet their needs and build their confidence.

As a therapist, I have the skill to compassionately listen, be non-judgmental, and at all times provide support, encouragement and empowerment.

My approach to therapy is simple: “Restoring peace, one day at a time, one piece at a time.”

My commitment to my clients is to be open and honest in all my communication and to help each client reach their personal goals. The process of change is a heart issue and that change can only come from within.

I believe every client has a purpose to fulfill and the ability to realize that purpose in their present life. This is why I enthusiastically use Person-Centered Planning with clients. In order to be successful, a client must be willing, dedicated, and committed to accomplishing their individual plan.

My commitment as a therapist is to help guide, impart, and facilitate that change process. The integrity of my character and words are of the highest standard. My communication is honest and open. I am excited and privileged to be a part of your journey to change, success, and a future that looks much brighter. I look forward to working with you!

“Having not done therapy in over 20 years, I was reluctant to try anything other than in person therapy but my budget didn’t allow it. <br /> I couldn’t be more pleased with Naomi Smith and I feel especially grateful that she was the first therapist assigned to me. <br /> Naomi is practical, compassionate and wise. We are just getting started but I feel I am in very good hands.”

“I have just begun working with Naomi however from the moment I met her on the video chat I felt safe. She has a warm welcoming energy to her that makes me feel comfortable and like what I have to say is important. I had taken a while to decide on a therapist and I’m glad I landed with her as my therapist. I’m excited to continue working and hopefully get a better grasp on my life. She had given me 3 attainable goals to work on in between our session and I felt that I could achieve them and she welcomed me to message her with any questions. After completing a goal I updated her with my progress and she was responsive and encouraging! This is my first time really getting involved with therapy and I’m so grateful that I’m here with her guidance. Thank you so much Naomi.”
