I’m Karina Smith, LCSW, founder of Bloom Haven Therapeutic Services❀. I specialize in working with young adults and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions related to relationships, career shifts, and family dynamics. I also support individuals experiencing the lasting impact of trauma or feeling stuck in patterns that are difficult to break.

My work is grounded in EMDR, DBT-informed therapy, somatic approaches, CBT mindfulness-based practices and more! I’m also an advocate serving on the PAIMI Council for Disability Rights Florida.

CURRECTLY ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS.

Hey there! If you’re here, chances are something feels heavy right now. Maybe your child is struggling with anxiety, emotional outbursts, or confidence. Maybe your teen feels overwhelmed, shut down, or exhausted from trying to hold it together. Or maybe you’re the one carrying anxiety, trauma, self-doubt, or emotional burnout. I primarily work with children, teens, and young adults who are tired of surviving and ready to feel more grounded, connected, and emotionally safe. I also work with adults and parents seeking support, healing, and lasting change.

Currently, I offer telehealth and in-person sessions (on select days). Please reach out by phone or email to get started.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of FL. I have over 6 years of experience helping children, teens and adults struggling with their mental health. I hold additional certification in the trauma-informed Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP), a listening-based intervention designed to help regulate the nervous system and support emotional healing. I also utilize treatment modalities of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Play therapy.

I began working in the field of Mental Health in 2004, serving the female population. After three years, I decided to make this a career choice and studied at Springfield College to earn a master’s degree as a Mental Health Counselor. The first paid position I accepted was offered by a non-profit in Brandon, FL, where I served as a Group Facilitator and Counselor to adult and adolescent populations. In this position, I discovered my passion for counseling and helping others grow.

I have been an LCSW for over 15 years, and anxiety is where I do my deepest work..the racing thoughts, the physical tension, the constant "what if" that won't quiet down. I also work with clients navigating depression, major life changes, grief and divorce. But if anxiety is running the show in your life, that is exactly where I want to start.
