Therapists in New York

Hi, welcome to Better Help. My name is Donna Smith. I am a masters prepared licensed Mental Health Counselor in Rochester NY. I received my counselor training through the University of Rochester . I have 30 plus years of experience working in a variety of mental health settings, however, my passion is to work one on one with individuals who are looking to enhance the quality of their life. In addition to providing confidential, compassionate mental health therapy my other passion is creative writing. I see these two areas blending in beautiful ways. I believe we each have within us a collection of tales that together create a unique and colorful story of the life we've lived thus far as well as the dreams that we've laid before us. I would be honored to travel with you for a time on your personal journey. I have always seen my myself as a 'guide' in this process. My role as therapist would be to join with you in partnership working together to realize the future you have imagined. I will offer you the opportunity for a genuine, open, trusting and hope-filled connection should you choose me as your therapist and therapeutic partner. The path we take will be of your choosing. I am committed to walking beside you and offering the experience gained through my own life as well as the skills I've learned throughout my career as a therapist. Your decision to enter into this journey is a brave one - CONGRATULATIONS! I look forward to accompanying you in a supportive, non-judgmental manner to your destination.

I trained to become a spiritual life coach in 2002. It was a wonderful experience, but I felt I needed more education. I feel that incorporating the clinical skills of a mental health counselor into my training as a life coach is the perfect formula for supporting others traveling through this journey called life. I’ve worked with seriously mentally ill adults and adults with developmental disabilities. Working with different people has helped shape me as a therapist because people are unique and each experience and path to recovery is different, so I continue to hone my craft. I am trained in CBT, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness. CBT is the focus of my practice and a powerful tool because our thoughts become things. In other words, what we feel and think we deserve is usually what we focus on. My passion for helping others has shaped my practice and continues to motivate me to find creative ways to support others on their journeys to healing. I currently hold a Doctorate in Human Services and my goal is to help others live their best life.
