With nine years of dedicated experience, Christy has honed her skills in treating a wide array of mental health challenges, demonstrating a particular prowess in addressing Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) through the highly effective Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) technique.
Christy's therapeutic approach is as diverse as it is impactful. She has cultivated a special focus on disorders first diagnosed in infancy, childhood, or adolescence, employing the art of Play Therapy to bridge the communication gap with young clients. This unique ability to "speak the language of children" through play allows her to create a safe, nurturing environment where young individuals can freely express their emotions and work through their challenges.

She has successfully provided evidence-based treatment to a broad spectrum of clients, including children, adolescents, adults, and couples. Her extensive experience encompasses treating Generalized Anxiety, Depression, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), OCD, and Bipolar I and II Disorders, among others.
At the core of Christy's practice is a deep understanding of the vulnerability required to share personal and often traumatic experiences. She approaches each client with empathy and a non-judgmental attitude, creating an atmosphere conducive to growth and healing. Christy sees her role as both educator and guide, working alongside her clients to build the confidence and skills necessary for overcoming their unique challenges.
Christy's ability to connect with people is one of her strongest assets. She strives to create a comfortable, engaging therapeutic environment where clients can focus on their journey rather than the process itself. Her approach begins with fostering good conversations, which naturally evolve into the meaningful work that helps clients build confidence and achieve their goals. With Christy Smith, LCSW, clients find not just a therapist, but a dedicated partner in their journey towards mental and emotional well-being.
