Dr. Tina Smith

She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who practices from Colorado and brings six years of clinical experience to her work. Her sessions often center on the Gottman Method alongside client-centered and cognitive behavioral techniques.

That means she pays attention to how partners relate to each other and to the practical thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. She also uses mindfulness and emotionally-focused tools to help people name feelings and respond differently in the moment.

Tina works with adults on a wide range of concerns, including depression, bipolar symptoms, addictions, grief, trauma and abuse, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. She also supports people navigating parenting stress, caregiving burdens, blended family issues, and communication struggles.

She has experience in correctional and clinical settings and has worked with clients who face severe challenges such as active suicidal thoughts and psychotic symptoms. Her background includes work with people from diverse cultural, racial, and gender backgrounds, including LGBTQIA+ communities.

In sessions she emphasizes a strengths-based, meet-you-where-you-are stance. Clients can expect a practical, collaborative process that combines talking through concerns with exercises and skills to try between meetings.
