Therapists in Michigan

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!

Change is a part of life we all experience. If the change is good we run to tell someone about it. When the change is not so good we often keep it to ourselves having no one else to turn to. These are times when having a therapist can make all the difference. My counseling approach is client centered. This allows for each person's interests, desires, and priorities to play an active role in their treatment planning. I support the idea that what a person chooses to do is directly related to what that person chooses to think. I use cognitive behavioral therapy to promote positive and lasting change. My desire is to be the person you can turn to for support and guidance. I will walk with you through your struggles. We will do this together. You will not walk alone.
