About Dr.
Hello, and welcome. I'm Dr. Shaven Abney Smith, a licensed clinical social worker with a Doctor of Social Work (DSW) degree and experience supporting individuals through a variety of life's challenges. I specialize in helping individuals navigate depression, trauma, anxiety, and life transitions using proven, evidence-based approaches tailored to each person's unique needs and experiences. My approach to therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I believe therapy is a partnership where we work together to identify your goals, build on your strengths, and develop practical tools to support meaningful and lasting change. I communicate in a clear and direct manner because I value transparency and believe in helping you get to the heart of what's going on, always with compassion, warmth, and sensitivity. I strive to create a space where you feel safe, seen, and never judged. Whether you are seeking healing from past experiences, support through current challenges, or personal growth, I am committed to meeting you where you are and walking alongside you on your journey toward greater well-being.
