Linda M. Smith, MA, LMHC, (Expired)

I completed a rigorous grad school internship at Attachment and Trauma Specialists, specializing in treating kids with attachment disorders and other behavior issues. I have been working in social service since 2003, working in drug treatment programs, youth shelters and housing service programs as well as an adolescent residential mental health program.

I am currently pursuing a doctoral degree in Clinical Sexology. I am dedicated to assisting individuals in healing from sexual trauma and reclaiming their sexuality and sex life—an area often overlooked in traditional therapy that typically concentrates solely on treating the trauma itself. I have a particular interest in the intersection of neurodivergence with sexuality

In my individual and family work, I use the following:

Narrative Therapy
Emotionally Focused Therapy
EMDR
Structural Family Therapy
Motivational Interviewing
SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions)

I have specialized training and experience in: neurodivergence, attachment disorders, addiction, trauma, anxiety and oppositional defiant disorder.
