Allison Smith

Allison Smith, Ph.D., is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Center of New Orleans. She specializes in providing empirically-supported psychotherapy to adults and late adolescents.

Her approach is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT); she helps clients understand how their thinking styles impact mood and behavior and teaches skills to change thought patterns through practice. This methodology can improve depressed mood, alleviate anxiety and fears, and enhance relationships.

She is part of a team committed to warmth and authenticity and uses testing, diagnosis, and treatment selection based on current psychological research. A free 25-minute, in-office consultation is available to discuss whether CBT and related therapies fit clients' goals.
