Dana Aley Smith, PA LPC PC006663

As a therapist with extensive experience supporting individuals through life's most challenging transitions, over my career, I've worked with clients across the lifespan, with a particular focus on helping adults and teens navigate stress, anxiety, and the complexities of life changes.

My approach centers on building self-esteem and fostering meaningful communication. I specialize in addressing anxiety, isolation, loneliness, and the deeper emotional patterns—like guilt, shame, control issues, and attachment concerns—that often underlie our struggles. I'm particularly passionate about supporting women through their unique experiences and helping parents strengthen their relationships with their children.

I believe that healing happens when we feel truly heard and understood. My role is to create a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your feelings, challenge unhelpful patterns, and reconnect with your own strength and worth. Whether you're navigating abandonment fears, working through communication difficulties, or learning to prioritize your own well-being, I'm here to support you with warmth and genuine care.

Taking that first step toward therapy takes courage, and I'm honored to walk alongside you on your journey.
