Laura Smith

Therapist

Virtual • Connecticut


Twenty-five years in this field — across inpatient units, outpatient programs, and private practice — means I've sat with people in virtually every kind of difficulty. That depth of experience shapes how I show up: grounded, unhurried, and genuinely confident that change is possible, even when it doesn't feel that way yet.

I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, ADD/ADHD, stress, and major life transitions. I bring both clinical rigor and real human warmth to the work — because neither alone is enough.

I trained at Hunter College School of Social Work and have built my practice around one belief: that insight without practical tools doesn't get people very far, and tools without insight don't stick. We'll work on both.

There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t.” — John Green I have worked in the field of social work for over ten years, driven by a passion that began while supporting adolescents in a clinical day school setting.

Throughout my career, I have gained experience across a variety of settings, including schools, medical facilities, child welfare, outpatient care, and crisis services.

Kimberly Leak

Therapist

Virtual • Connecticut


I've spent my career working with people who are dealing with some of life's hardest circumstances — trauma, addiction, domestic violence, grief, chronic illness, and the day-to-day weight of anxiety and depression that doesn't announce itself. I bring both clinical training and real compassion to that work.

As a Black female therapist, I'm especially attuned to the cultural context that shapes how we experience stress, seek help, and heal. I specialize in anxiety, depression, PTSD, trauma, BPD, domestic violence, and substance use, and I work with adolescents, adults, and seniors across Connecticut.

My approach is practical and trauma-informed — I meet you where you are, not where I think you should be. You've already taken a step by being here. We can take the next ones together.

I began my career working with children and quickly expanded my expertise to include adults and couples. Throughout my 26 years as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I have seen the incredible power of the human spirit to overcome trauma and unexpected life struggles. Watching my clients transition from "surviving" to "thriving" remains the most inspiring part of my work.
