Evidence Based and Trauma Focused Healing at Your Own Pace

I’m impressed by Dr. Smith’s warm and affirming treatment style. She uses a wide range of mindfulness, evidence based and trauma focused therapeutic interventions. She and her colleagues at Sweetgrass employ cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization reprocessing (EMDR) and trauma focused CBT. She strives to create a safe therapeutic space where clients can heal at their own pace.
