I am a retired Air Force Master Sgt. and an LCSW who specializes in addiction and mental health. I understand these issues because I have lived through both of them. I have two masters degrees, one in military social work, and one in addiction social work. I graduated from the University of Louisville, and am excited to get to meet new people and help them get their lives back.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

In mental healthcare, true healing happens when you feel completely seen, heard, and met with grace. My mission is to partner with you to navigate life's complexities, balancing clinical excellence with deep empathy. I look at wellness holistically...focusing not just on managing symptoms, but on supporting your mind, body, and spirit so that you can thrive.

I believe that to encourage holistic wellness in others, I must practice it myself. When I am not working, you can usually find me spending quality time with my children, tackling a DIY home improvement project, or planning our next big roadtrip adventure. I have a deep love for long-distance travel, exploring historic highways, slowing down the pace of life and meeting strangers across America.

I have proudly served the healthcare community for over 25 years, working in an array of settings. For the past 8 years I have focused on mental health and helping others heal their mind, body, and soul with medication management, psychotherapy, and hormone balancing. I treat ages across the lifespan starting at age 4.

I specialize in treating ADHD/Autism, PTSD, Depression, Anxiety, OCD, Substance Use Disorders, and many other diagnoses by providing compassionate, evidence base care and diagnostic evaluations for a variety of mental health needs.

Great to meet you! My name is Linda Smiley, and I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor. I enjoy being a therapist because everyone deserves to be validated, listened to, and given the opportunity to live their best life. I am born and raised in Kentucky, and have also lived in a couple of other states — experiences that have shaped how I practice. Working with individuals from other cultures has given me a multicultural lens, and that perspective is part of every session I offer.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Kentucky

Searching for therapists in Kentucky starts with finding someone whose training and experience match what you want support with. Across the state, therapy needs and available therapists can vary between urban and rural areas, so it helps to narrow your search by concern, specialty, and care style. You might look for a therapist who works with anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, grief, or life transitions. Provider bios can also show whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.

Location and format also matter when comparing Kentucky therapists. If you live near Louisville, Lexington, Bowling Green, or a smaller community, you may want to decide whether in-person sessions, virtual sessions, or a mix of both fits your schedule best. You can also compare appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading profiles before you book can help you understand how a therapist describes their style, session structure, and areas of focus.

The cost of mental health care in Kentucky varies, but using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps make that process clearer by letting you enter your insurance details, view estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and find therapists who match your preferences. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and you can confirm coverage for your location and plan as you search. Browse therapists in Kentucky, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
