Vikki Smyth, MA, LMHC, LPCC-S, CST

I started off my career working with folks recovering from substance use disorders. It was there that I learned substances weren't the problem, but the solution to the problem, so my focus then became on the underlying mental health issues that these clients were experiencing. The topics of unresolved trauma, relationship issues, and troubles with intimacy/sex would always come up once we started working on things. The frequency of these conversations would drive me to pursue information on each of them. 

I specialize in sex therapy, trauma, and relationships. I am trained in Emotion Focused Therapy, an evidenced based approach in working with relationships. I am also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), which is one of the leading treatments for trauma. I am a certified sex therapist through AASECT so have taken 150 hours of additional training, and 50 hours of additional supervision). 

Throughout my work, I have experience in working with diverse clients, and strongly value creating safe spaces for people to be unashamedly themselves, encouraging them to step into the role of being the main character in their lives.

If you are interested in working with me, I provide free 15 minute phone consultations and can answer any questions you have or share more information about my training and approach.
