Lauren Necesario Smith, Clinical Psychologist

My clients describe me as:

warm, kind, supportive, interactive, personable, relatable, and genuine.

Something to know about my approach is:

Through gentle exploration and skill building, you will be guided to a place of understanding, acceptance, and compassion for where you are in your journey and how you got here. I like to use CBT, DBT, ACT, and mindfulness-based interventions.

Together, we will:

explore how your feelings of anxiety, depression, and stress impact your daily functioning. We will use different tools to help you develop new ways of understanding and reacting to life stressors.

I specialize in working with people who:

are feeling anxious or depressed from trying to understand themselves. I help my clients uncover the things that can be contributing to their anxiety or depression. Together, we'll work to help you create healing and improve quality of life.

I became a therapist because:

I wanted to give back to my community, help people not feel so alone, and see people overcome obstacles to find healing and understanding.

Something that stands out about where I offer therapy is:

Owning my practice gives me freedom to accommodate your schedule. I offer virtual services, which allows you to do therapy in the comfort of your home
