This content was provided by Caren Smiley "I have been described as a warm and caring professional, able to make a wide variety of patients feel safe in order to facilitate the best possible outcomes. I am a highly trained and skillful counselor with over 15 years of experience. I am at ease working with the most prevalent complaints; anxiety, depression, life transitions, family and marital issues and parenting. Other interests include acupressure, yoga, meditation and nutrition. I have worked as a teacher, a musician, and a massage therapist. All of these interests lead to a creative approach, providing a flexibility that makes it possible to respond to the needs of each unique individual. "

Care Philosophy

This content was provided by Caren Smiley "It takes bravery and need combined in order to reach out for help. I admire the people who are seeking it! I use a natural approach that is gentle, holistic and active and can meet each individual's needs. Therapy is a creative process in which we explore feelings and patterns of thinking and include the body as a source of knowledge and wisdom. My training and expertise offers an effective approach to counseling that can work around our most stubborn patterns, confusion and difficult blocks. "
