About me

My name is Naomi Smith. I am a licensed master social worker with 23 years of experience in working in mental health and also providing therapeutic services to
Individuals. My primary focus as a clinician is helping my clients meet their needs and build their confidence.

As a therapist, I have the skill to compassionately listen, be non-judgmental, and at all times provide support, encouragement and empowerment. My approach to therapy is simple: “Restoring peace, one day at a time, one piece at a time.” My commitment to my clients is to be open and honest in all my communication and to help each client reach their personal goals. The process of change is a heart issue and that change can only come from within.

I believe every client has a purpose to fulfill and the ability to realize that purpose in their present life. This is why I enthusiastically use Person-Centered Planning with clients. In order to be successful, a client must be willing, dedicated, and committed to accomplishing their individual plan.

My commitment as a therapist is to help guide, impart, and facilitate that change process. The integrity of my character and words are of the highest standard. My communication is honest and open. I am excited and privileged to be a part of your journey to change, success, and a future that looks much brighter. I look forward to working with you!

Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Naomi Smith. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.

For about the past year, Naomi has been a compassionate, engaged, informed and supportive therapist with a perspective that has consistently helped me. I highly recommend her to anyone on the road to self empowerment who may be looking for a safe space for support, encouragement and reliable advice on ways to take real action to feel better .

Naomi is very supportive and understanding, offering realistic solutions and honest feedback. I never feel judged and feel like I can accomplish improvement goals without feeling bad about myself or having someone angry at or disappointed in me. Many thanks to Naomi and I highly recommend her.
