Omega Smith

Therapist

Virtual • Virginia


Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, which means that I have been specially trained to assess and provide on-going mental health support during and following a personal crisis. I received my MSW from the University of Denver, and completed my B.S. degree in administration of justice from George Mason University.

Prior to starting my own practice I worked in a variety of human service settings including residential treatment, secondary education, and in child welfare.

I bring a warm, friendly approach to each therapy session. I like for sessions to feel like a good conversation that leaves you feeling uplifted and more confident about yourself and your situation.

Areas of specialty include: Anxiety, ADHD, Anger Management, Complex Trauma, Depression, Life Transitions, and Relationships Issues and for children, youth, their families.
