Kathleen “Kasey” Smith, TLMFT
Beginning therapy can be the first step toward a more fulfilling life, and I am eager to support those ready to embark on that journey. As a therapist, I take immense pleasure in holding space for my clients, who bring unique life experiences and goals for change. I aim to provide empathetic and direct support, helping clients make informed decisions to achieve their therapy objectives. My hope is that clients feel heard and empowered as they make the necessary changes that lead them to healing and growth.

Therapist Experience
My clinical experience has involved providing mental health and relationship care at a local pregnancy center to individuals, couples, and families facing perinatal-related issues, such as crisis pregnancy, pregnancy/infant loss, and perinatal mood disorders. Additionally, I have provided therapy at a local therapy center that serves demographically diverse populations experiencing various mental health symptoms and life circumstances.
Therapy Interests
My areas of clinical interest include pre-marital and marital therapy, anxiety, depression, couple’s conflict, perinatal mood disorders, life transitions, self-esteem, sexual trauma, and boundary setting. I take an integrative approach to therapy that includes evidence-based, feedback-informed interventions from models including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Gottman Method Couples Therapy.
