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.

MELINDA GREEN, MA, LPC-Associate, LCDC
Hello world! I am a licensed professional counselor associate, under the supervision of Denise Smith, LPC-Supervisor, specializing in working with children and families. With a background in education as a behavior teacher and ARD facilitator, I bring a unique perspective to my practice. I am passionate about helping individuals develop healthy coping mechanisms and navigate challenges related to at-risk behaviors. I offer a compassionate and supportive therapeutic environment, tailored to meet the specific needs of each client.
Before becoming a counselor, I worked as a behavior teacher, lead teacher, and ARD facilitator. I love helping children and families navigate at-risk behaviors, and I specialize in working with kids ages 5 to 17. I have a deep understanding of the 504/ARD process, and the challenges families face within the education system.
While most of my experience is with children, I have also worked with adults through addiction counseling. Whether working with children, adolescents, or adults, I use evidence-based therapeutic approaches to address a variety of issues, including anxiety, depression, trauma, and substance abuse. I offer tele-health for those looking for accessible care.
