Ginger Smith, M.S.E., LPCC, DARTT
Whether you are a teen or adult, you are not alone! The decision to talk to a counselor, to share pieces of your life with another individual, takes a great deal of strength and courage. In my work as a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, I strive to create a genuine and therapeutic alliance, which enables each client to feel safe and validated, foster change, and achieve clearly set goals.
I believe all people have the potential to change and build on their personal strengths to experience peace and joy in their lives. I use a person-centered and integrative approach in collaboration with individuals to meet their needs.
I am certified as a Developmental and Relational Trauma Therapist (DARTT), which means I help clients heal wounds from childhood (ages 0-18) that negatively impact their lives as adults. This work, based on Pia Mellody’s Post Induction Therapy, is powerful and life changing! I am also fully trained in Attachment-Focused Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR) to improve trauma symptoms. My other interests and areas of competency include, but are not limited to: depression, stress, anxiety, life transitions, grief/loss, self-esteem, relationship and parenting issues.
I look forward to seeing you in the heart of Beavercreek!
