Ready to Listen, Ready to Work!
Hello! My name is D'Ana Smith, and I am a Licensed Clinical/Certified Social Worker (LCSW) in MS, LA & Texas. I have worked in, learned from, impacted, and been impacted by the field of social work for 20+ incredible years. For most of my career, I have enthusiastically served communities, families, teens, adults, and the elderly in and around the New Orleans Metropolitan area. My experience includes crisis counseling, integrating behavioral health in primary care settings, mental health and wellness, workforce development, and program planning. Additionally, I have also served in multiple administrative and leadership capacities where I have developed the vision and implementation of highly successful community programs.
I am YOU-centered in my approach to therapy. It is my sincere commitment that therapy be customized to meet your individual needs. No matter the “what” or “why” that has brought us together. I am committed to working together to explore, discover and improve your daily functioning. We’ll journey at a pace that works for you and honors you as the expert in your life. While I will use evidence-based treatments to guide our journey, I also welcome and integrate organic frameworks that celebrate your unique experiences, including cultural, ethnic, and geographic perspectives. I enthusiastically serve individuals, ages 18 and up.
