Business Details
We have been providing psychological services for over ten years, beginning with crisis intervention at the San Francisco Child Abuse Prevention Center. Our experience continued to deepen as a school therapist in San Rafael, California, where we provided individual and group therapy for children. We later led groups for parents navigating high-conflict divorce at the Family Service Agency of Marin. Our expertise expanded through a pre-doctoral residency at the Psychological Services Center in Oakland, delivering therapy and case management in a high school setting. We have conducted psycho-educational and psycho-diagnostic assessments for both children and adults.
We also provided weekly supervision for graduate students in the Clinical Counseling program at Alliant International University. Our current private practice is located at Amelia Smith, PsyD in Bend, Oregon. We place a significant focus on building resiliency so clients can face life's challenges with confidence. We emphasize the cultivation of meditation and mindfulness as evidence-based tools for stress management. We are dedicated to helping you define the life you want to live and developing the insight to live that life now.

Services
Individual Therapy
Individual therapy is provided for adults and adolescents to address issues like anxiety, depression, and trauma. We focus on helping you understand how your mind impacts your mood and behaviors, leading to greater awareness. Clients benefit by building resiliency and cultivating the skills needed to navigate life's challenges with confidence.
Group Therapy
Group therapy is occasionally offered as a skill development group with an emphasis on building a personal meditation practice. These 45-minute sessions focus on experiential practices with minimal sharing of personal details. It is an effective way for clients to develop an evidence-based self-care routine in a structured environment.
Mindfulness Training
Mindfulness training is a core component of our work, drawing from our experience leading weekly Acceptance and Commitment Therapy groups. We teach techniques that help reduce stress and increase present-moment awareness. This training equips clients with the skills to manage difficult emotions and break free from unhelpful behavioral patterns.
Supervision
Clinical supervision is offered based on our experience providing weekly guidance to graduate students in a Clinical Counseling program. We provide professional oversight to developing clinicians, helping them refine their therapeutic skills. This service ensures high standards of care and supports the next generation of mental health professionals.
