WHO WE ARE

DENISE SMITH, MA, LPC-Supervisor

As a Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor, I strive to use my expertise in order to create a comfortable and safe environment for you.
I've been a counselor for over 15 years and in that time, my counseling services have helped countless people get through stressful challenges by questioning negative thoughts and understanding the source of specific behaviors and emotional patterns. With the right tools and a better approach to situations, it's possible to gain a better outlook on any issues that life brings your way.

​My approach to therapy is that we are a team. I am not an authority figure but instead, you are the greatest authority about your life. All I can do is help you gain some perspective and work together as a team to find some solutions.

BEN SCHMIDT, MS, LPC, NCC

I work with each client to identify what thoughts or experiences are holding them back from their goals towards health and happiness. Whether life stress, anxiety, depression, or trauma, my aim is to navigate through the difficult parts with my clients, in order to help them reach an authentic sense of self and feel empowered to overcome the barriers that life brings.

Life brings inevitable ups and downs. As a therapist, I feel honored to foster a safe space which allows for an intentional and non-judgemental relationship to develop. This allows clients to dig deep and discover incredible change. I’m particularly passionate about supporting the LGBTQIA+ community and working with people through life transitions.

I look forward to hearing from those willing or reluctant to discover positive change and insight in a safe space.

I specialize in LGBTQIA+, anxiety, and depression though I have a wide range of areas of expertise.
