Your story, your pain are unique to you. This is the first step to understanding your struggles, feeling empowered, and to make positive changes to improve your life. My name is Joan Smith. I have a Masters in Social Work, and I am a Registered Social Worker with more than 25 years of experience supporting individuals struggling with trauma, grief, and mental health challenges. In my practice, I address a range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, panic attacks, phobias, sleep disturbance, low self-esteem, trauma, grief, and loss.

My approach is sincere, warm, non-judgemental, and professional. My therapeutic approach is determined by your needs. I draw on various approaches in my practice such as Client Centred, Solution Focused, CBT, ACT, GRM, and EMDR. I will work closely with you to ensure that the therapeutic approach is one that best supports you on your journey.

I strongly believe you can be empowered to find your strengths, recognize your values, and learn how to navigate your pain in ways that will allow you to thrive. I would be honoured to help you move toward making the kind of changes you require to experience a fulfilling life.
