About:

Victoria Chialy Smith, PhDI am a licensed clinical psychologist with expertise in the cognitive behavioral treatment of depression, anxiety, and stress. I specialize in women and adolescent mental health. I also provide evidence-based psychological services for teens and adults coping with chronic health conditions, including chronic pain and postpartum depression.

My approach is integrative and evidence-based, recognizing the interconnectedness between mind, body, and life experienece -- drawing from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness and acceptance based approaches to promote healing, growth, and wellness.

I am passionate about helping clients live lives of greater authenticity, hope, and meaning by building upon their strengths and abilities to overcome challenges they may be facing. Every client I welcome is seen, heard, and met with warmth and positive regard. I work to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental therapeutic environment to help clients navigate what can often be an uncertain and challenging time.
