Robin Smith

I am a licensed therapist with over 10 years of experience helping individuals navigate emotional pain, personal challenges, and spiritual uncertainty. My practice, Lean Not to Your Own Understanding, is founded on the belief that true healing begins when we stop relying solely on our own strength and seek help--emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. I work with adults, teens, couples, and families who are dealing with: anxiety, depression, low self-esteem issues, relationship and communication problems, family conflicts and spiritual confusion and growth. No matter what you're going through, I aim to provide a safe, non-judgmental, and faith sensitive space where you can be heard, understood, and empowered. My general counseling approach combines Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Reality Therapy, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Biblical Counseling (for those who desire spiritual integration. It is my goal to create a safe, accepting, and comfortable environment, which is conducive to allow you, the client, to experience an enhanced sense of self understanding and acceptance. Thus, creating a mutually desirable relationship focusing on goal setting and developing practical skills needed to deal with complicated feelings and situations. Whether you're seeking practical strategies, emotional healing, or spiritual direction, we'll work together to create a customized plan that fits you values and goals.
