therapist: Michaela Smith,
Online in New York (Online Only)
I am a licensed psychotherapist based in New York City and have been practicing for three years. My educational background includes masters degrees in Mental Health Counseling and School Counseling, which have allowed me extensive clinical experience with children, adolescents, young adults, adults and couples. Since my education covers a number of different populations and settings, I have been lucky enough to work with many different disorders and struggles. During my free time, I enjoy walking my dog through the neighborhood, spending time with my family, trying new restaurants and exercising. If you are interested in working with me, I am always happy to chat via phone or email to reassure clients and provide clarification to ensure that we are a good fit before beginning to work together. I look forward to hearing from you!

Michaela Smith Practice Description
My practice is looking to help those who are committed to identifying problems/stressors to promote personal growth. My ideal clients are individuals, couples or families that are open to learning and growing. We will work collaboratively, taking feedback from each other and committed to our sessions, even when they get difficult. Client needs will vary, particularly as our sessions progress and life shifts. In terms of goals, the client and I will work together to form goals and adjust as needs change and accomplishments are made. I ask that my clients will be open to setting new goals as accomplishments are made and be dedicated despite any potential set backs.
