Vicki Smith

My clients describe me as:

Easy going, open-minded, non-judgmental. Clients say, "I have never thought about it that way". I ask questions that get to the heart of the issue.

Something to know about my approach is:

Internal Family Systems and Mindfulness are my foundation. We untangle well-worn patterns and finally begin to understand WHY we do what we do. This allows us to actually change our behaviors from a compassionate place.

Together, we will:

Explore pleasing and perfectionism from a kind and curious perspective. Help unburden the root pain that causes us to think, act and feel insecure in relationships and work environments.

I specialize in working with people who:

are afraid of judgment and rejection and use people pleasing and perfectionism to try and prove/earn their worth in relationships and the work environment.

I became a therapist because:

I am fascinated by why we do the things we do and our unique ways of "making it" in the world. As well as what blocks us from the life we desire.

More about me and my practice:

I have tried many healing paths; sweat lodges, yoga, meditation, breathwork, art. IFS and mindfulness are the ways I have found the most profound and long lasting change. They have helped me and my clients move mtns I never thought possible.
