Dr. Symphonie Smith, LMFT, LPC
Why are your relationships KEY? Answer: There is no problem (i.e. depression, anxiety, self esteem, anger, etc.) in existence that doesn’t impact, or isn’t impacted by the people around you! Therefore, relationships are my priority, beginning with the most important relationship of all- the one you have with yourself. Understanding yourself is ALWAYS the first step to ironing out struggles in your life. My goal is to help you resolve problems by first increasing personal awareness which leads to growth and empowerment for a healthy mental state and strong relationships.
Christina Harris, LPC
My ideal client knows what they want and is ready and determined to get it. The client works hard and wants to better their self mentally, spiritually, and emotionally. The client wants to make a change and become the best version of who they are purposed to be. The client is tired of doing life dealing with the same struggles and wants better for family and self by willingly doing the work to become whole and healthy. I love working collaboratively with individuals to help find solutions that will increase their life fulfillment. I provide a safe, judgement free zone that allows clients to be themselves and feel free to express their innermost feelings.
Dr. Noelle Chappelle, LIMFT-S, LPC, EMDRIA Certified Therapist
My ideal client, whether working with couples or individuals, works and plays hard and loves to learn. I enjoy treating couples and women who are dealing with relationship/life transitions, loss and rejection. Healthy boundaries, an emphasis on self-care, along with an understanding of how family of origin and past experiences may impact one's life and relationships are crucial to the development and success of the clients I work with. This helps clients to realize the full potential of their relationships and facilitates change in their inner lives. I also model proper boundaries in the client-therapist relationship.
As a doctoral level clinician, I have been rigorously trained in individual/couple systems and believe it is crucial to target both behaviors/thoughts and values/family of origin issues. I use a trauma-informed approach as well as attachment theory, and mindfulness principles when conducting therapy. I use sand tray and art therapy interventions for minors. I utilize EMDR for adults and children who have experienced trauma or distressing events.
I appreciate and honor diversity in all aspects and love working with clients from all sorts of backgrounds, including those who aren't religious/spiritual. However, I'm open to applying biblical principles in therapy by request.
