Sara Smithson

Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW, LICSW
Last Updated 30+ days ago

I help easily misunderstood people, whether introverted, shy, or inhibited—or—outwardly expressive, gregarious, or impulsive, figure out how to wield their unique strengths, get out of their own way, connect with others, and thrive. This can include:

- deep thinkers lodged in cycles of anxiety and depression

- sensitive hearts overwhelmed by the intensity of experiences or relationships

- outside-the-box or neurodivergent people searching to feel understood, connected, or successful
