Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern,
IMH #6997

Do you feel that you or your child struggles with communicating wants, needs, thoughts, and feelings?  Would you or your child benefit from the chance to build confidence and learn new tools to be successful in life?  Have you lost hope in your ability to help yourself or your child?

Everyone wants the best in life for their child, them self, and their family; sometimes they just need guidance, support, new ideas, and hope.  My experience stems from helping children, adults, and families, through individual, family, and group counseling, address stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, defiance, anger, grief and loss, divorce, self-esteem, social skills, and communication skills. My counseling approach is both individualized and eclectic.  I often use, but am not limited to, the cognitive behavioral approach, reality therapy, humanistic theory, positive psychology, and directive and non-directive play therapy in sessions. 

I attended the University of Central Florida obtaining a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Troy University for a Master’s degree in Counseling and Psychology.  I am currently a Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern, IMH #6997.  I heed to the ethical standards put in place by the American Counseling Association and the state of Florida, and believe ethical boundaries are a crucial component to counseling. 

It is my philosophy that with awareness and a positive outlook, change can happen. I believe you have already taken the first step by spending time on this site. 

It would be my honor to help you the rest of the way. 

I can be reached by phone at 407-435-1509 or e-mail  amyvsmith@earthlink.net for a free consultation or to set an appointment.
