Anna Smith, AMFT

About My Clients
I feel deeply honored to support individuals seeking to understand themselves more fully. My clients often come to therapy navigating neurodivergence, anxiety, trauma, and relational patterns that no longer serve them. I bring a warm, grounded, and collaborative presence to our work together, inviting curiosity and compassion as we explore your inner world. My experience includes working with individuals on the spectrum, kids and adults with intellectual disabilities, and people healing from addiction, mood disorders, and family challenges. I believe every person has the capacity for growth and that healing begins when we feel safe enough to explore our story.

My Background & Approach
I received my Master of Clinical Psychology from Antioch University. My clinical background is rooted in both depth-oriented and evidence-based practice, integrating psychodynamic insight with trauma-informed practical skills.
I have worked for over a decade in mental health across a variety of settings including residential treatment, outpatient therapy, and community care supporting individuals through complex trauma, crisis, and recovery. I’ve provided both individual and group therapy for children and adults, emphasizing person-centered, trauma-informed, strengths-based care. My work is informed by Internal Family Systems (IFS), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Narrative Therapy, Somatic approaches, and Jungian depth psychology. I also incorporate 12-Step and harm reduction models to support clients in substance use recovery.

My Personal Beliefs & Interests
I believe therapy is a collaborative process built on trust, openness, and authenticity. It takes great strength and openness to share your story, and I honor that vulnerability by creating a space where all emotions are welcome. My goal is to help clients find empowerment in their experiences, connect with their inner wisdom, and build capacity for life’s challenges.
