My name is Saviana Smith and I am a licensed clinical social worker in New York and New Jersey.

My role is to be your partner and collaborator in understanding yourself more deeply. We will put our heads together to uncover how beliefs about yourself and the world came to be, and how some may be preventing you from feeling satisfied in life. We often come to therapy when we are feeling stuck, and I want to work with you to understand what barriers are in the way to your feeling as alive and fulfilled as you hope to be.

Whether you are feeling overwhelmed with a new challenge in life or you have struggled for a long time with feelings of anxiety, sadness, or shame, our work together can provide a safe and trusting place for you to step back and imagine a clearer path forward.
