Kisha Smiley, LMSW
“I believe journaling is a reflective tool that helps stimulates mental clarity by helping you organize your thoughts, thus, guiding you to making decisions that lead to meaningful change. Journaling is also a therapeutic outlet for your emotions to take up space safely and freely. I use a combination of journaling strategies along with client-based, humanistic and cognitive behavior therapy. So whether journaling is new to you or you are trying to get back in the habit of prioritizing yourself, schedule your first session today.”
Are you feeling overwhelmed, like there’s never enough time for yourself? Struggling to keep up with life’s demands and obligations, while losing sight of who you are in the process? If so, it’s time to start saying yes to your own needs, and shifting your mindset to prioritizing your well-being and emotional health.
With over 12 years of experience, I specialize in stress management, postpartum depression & recovery, mood disorders, and anxiety. I help individuals live authentically and regain control of their lives. Rediscover your voice— be seen, heard, and understood.
