Dr. James (as I call him) is so amazing! He has actively listened to my issues and is helping me work through them effectively. When he communicates with me, he will summarize my feelings and give feedback, then asking me to summarize his feedback. It helps both of us grasps what we communicate about and how we can understand each other. He is very personable, easy to talk to and confide in. He will hold me accountable for my thoughts and actions, and give positive alternatives. I would definitely recommend Dr. James Smith to my friends and family! He is the absolute BEST!!!

Dr Smith has turned my life around! He took me from a place of insecurity and fear and instantly lifted me up to be a better me and has continued to do it in a loving gentle way that I could see and work for myself. He challenges my negative thoughts and motivates me to dip deep in myself to be the best version of me. I can't recommend him enough or speak more highly of him. I am so thankful for Dr Smith for everything he has done to help me, and everything he will do in the future as I continue to grow! I am truly blessed to have connected with him.
