Nick Smith, LCPC, LADC, CCS

At one point or another we can all benefit from what therapy has to offer. My therapeutic style is infused with creativity, humor, and most importantly empathy.

About Me

I draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Positive Psychology, and Solution-Focused interventions to tailor practical, evidence-based support to each person’s unique needs.
