Dion Smith

I specialize in trauma resolution as well as alcohol and drug use treatment services that are informed by my own personal life experience and professional training. This is not to say that I do not also frequently help people with depression, anxiety and a number of other mental health challenges, I do!

For the past few years, I have also worked as a civilian contractor for clients through a program with the Department of Defense. Military life struggles as well as transition back to civilian life have been my main focuses when working with service members and their families.

My career began in 1994 as a master’s level specialist in school psychology; I later became a Licensed Professional Counselor to assist those in need of help from a well-trained professional that can relate with the struggles of trauma, addiction and mental health struggles. Assessment and informed, referral services are also provided to ensure that my clients receive the best and most appropriate interventions.

I approach each client as a unique person and provide treatment that is individually designed for specific needs and goals. Several intervention modalities are included in potential services. Within a trauma-informed cognitive-behavioral approach, I integrate mindfulness practice, Eye Movement Reprocessing and Desensitization (EMDR), experiential, and other interventions to help people achieve the goals they desire.

Seeking help and taking the first step to a healthy, fulfilling lifestyle can be difficult as well as anxiety provoking. My services are completely confidential and specifically tailored to each individual client. Please do not wait to make the desired changes that led you to read this profile.
