Welcome to SPARK Counseling!
 
I believe that the vehicle of healing is the relationship between the client and the therapist. As a therapist, I strive to be the spark (FYI, pun totally intended) that lights the fire for change & growth within you, occupying the passenger seat while you bravely navigate the vehicle along that path of healing and wellness, helping to empower you, motivate you, support you, and assist you in tearing down any roadblocks that may come your way.
​
Should you be seeking a passenger on your path to inner healing, I'd consider myself privileged to accompany you for the ride! Peruse my services page for further information on credentials, specializations, presenting problems I work with, and costs.
​
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me!

Sincerely,

Danielle Smith

ABOUT

ABOUT ME

MY MISSION

Danielle Smith, LMHC, CCTS-I

I strive to guide my clients along their journey towards self-awareness, peace, authenticity, resiliency, and (inner) knowledge. Through the process of having taken this journey myself, I connect with my clients on a deeply

personal level, bringing what I can only hope is received as a supportive and comforting authenticity to the therapeutic relationship. I hope to help my clients unlock the inherent wisdom residing within them, helping them to see that though life may have told them otherwise they are not, in fact, broken and do not need to be fixed but simply need to be listened to, validated, and supported while they learn to support and believe in themselves.
