I am Dr. Al Smith, and I am happy to share some information about me and my views of the counseling process. One of my passions in life is helping people find hope even in the most difficult situations. I have been working as a therapist for over twenty-five years, and I have been blessed to work with many individuals, couples, and families. You may have struggled with this decision to reach out for help, and I take that decision seriously and with a great deal of respect. I use a variety of approaches in my work as a therapist, and we will find the approach that is the best fit for you and the issues you are facing.
I have a master’s degree in marriage and family therapy and my doctorate degree in psychology, and I am a licensed therapist in the state of Texas. I would be honored to work with you and help you find hope, healing, and solutions for whatever you are facing.

Dr. Smith is a genuine and caring person and has experience with the kind of issues I am dealing with. I have benefitted from just a couple of sessions with him, feeling more grounded, my mind is clear and I am much more in tune with how I feel. I would definitely recommend him as a counselor. He is professional and polite and felt safe to express myself honestly.
