My name is Courtney Kadish-Smith and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I have worked in both mental health and addiction throughout my career. I have a passion for therapy and at the end of the day I am aware this is not an easy thing to commit too. Exploring into ourselves and working to get better is something that takes courage. I applaud you for reaching out in the first place and now we can take the step together towards making your life better.
In my work, I am passionate about creating a safe and collaborative environment that can serve as a catalyst for self-understanding and change. I am warm and empathetic.

I have years of experience working with ages ranging from young children to adults on both inpatient and outpatient clinical settings.
Our life experiences affect all of us in unique ways. Many people struggle to integrate what has happened to them in a way that allows them to feel comfortable in their own bodies and have meaningful relationships with others. If you feel stuck with overwhelming emotions or unhelpful patterns, we can work together to get you unstuck.
Whether you are dealing with trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, couples issues, or addiction; I can help. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 25 years of experience helping people. I have worked professionally in outpatient behavioral health settings, residential treatment centers, and Hospice. Additionally, I have trained hundreds of other professionals to assist people with their mental health needs.
I have a great deal of experience in trauma informed approaches, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, and other modalities. I am trained in EMDR; and my recent professional interests include Internal Family Systems and Somatic Experiencing. Life is not one size fits all and neither is effective treatment. Together we will find the right approach for you. I am looking forward to working with you to help you achieve your goals and become a happier, more fulfilled person!
Navigating life’s challenges can feel overwhelming at times, but you don’t have to do it alone. I truly believe that vulnerability is a strength—it’s often where real growth begins. Everyone comes in with their own story, goals, and hopes, and I take that seriously. In our work together, you won’t just be “a client”—you’ll be an active part of the process. We’ll work side by side to better understand what you’re going through, build on your strengths, and move toward the life you want. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe enough to be honest with yourself, explore what’s been holding you back, and discover what’s possible when you start showing up for yourself in new ways.
I graduated with my Doctorate in Psychology from LIU Post in 2009. Throughout my training and professional practice I have worked with a diverse array of individuals and clinical issues, including severe mental illness, substance abuse, trauma, depression, and anxiety. I currently work primarily with adults experiencing depression, anxiety, relationship problems, and who are in recovery from addiction.
