We cannot become what we want to be by remaining what we are.

How do I know I am ready?
“Sometimes the bravest and most important thing you can do is just show up” Brene Brown
Asking for help shows the greatest strength. Sometimes we cannot just push through or tough it out. Sometimes we need help on our road to healing. We can achieve more by working together than by working alone.
Are you ready to start your journey to healing? Tired of worrying, not sleeping well, being wound up and upset by things which shouldn’t bother you so much, finding yourself being triggered by reminders of traumatic events? Are your loved ones walking on eggshells around you? Do you feel like your anxiety or depression is interfering with your friendships, relationships, work, or school? If you are ready to start your path to healing, then we are here to help you.
Trauma Counseling and PTSD Therapy is our counseling specialty. We use empirically supported modalities such as Trauma Focused: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF:CBT) , Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help you let go of your past trauma.
We have licensed psychologists and LCSW’s trained to help you get to your next step. We work with you. We provide counseling through telehealth for PTSD, anxiety, depression, and more.
Psychological Testing
Interested in Psychological testing? We do that as well. Send us a message to schedule a free consultation to find out if psychological testing would be helpful for you, your child, or your teenager.
Who We Are
Growth is painful, change is painful, but nothing is as painful as staying stuck somewhere where you don't belong. Mandy Hale
Kelly Smith, PhD
Trauma creates the change you don't choose. Healing creates the change you do choose.
Are you ready to take the next steps to improving your quality of life? If so, I am here to help you heal your trauma. The hardest thing to do is often to admit that you need help to reach your goals or solve a problem. But like with many things certain jobs or tasks require the right tools, training, and often a support team. That is where I come in. I provide you a safe and private space to talk in counseling, learn new skills or tools, and process what happened. I specialize in trauma counseling and therapy in all areas of California (Redding, Hollister, San Francisco, Sacramento, Los Angeles, etc.) and Idaho (Pocatello, Boise, Eagle, Moscow, Coeur D'alene, etc.). To learn more about me and how I work with clients check out my page and subscribe to my blog posts.
Psychological Testing is about knowing yourself so you can grow yourself.

"The first step is the hardest in every journey of dreams. There is nothing else to fear unto whosoever has shown the tenacity to begin; because, once having started, the hardest part of the mission is the one lying behind." --Moffat Machingura from Life Capsules
