Great to meet you! Welcome to Ascend!! I am Charles Smith, the Owner and Lead Psychotherapist at Ascend. I have worked with students, adults and families for almost 30 years as a therapist, school-based counselor and social worker. Through these experiences, I have the expertise to help students navigate life challenges including anxiety, depression, trauma, career transitions & cultural identity. I help students understand how distorted perceptions and thoughts can contribute to painful feelings and unwanted behaviors, and we focus not only on understanding your thoughts and emotions, but also on building real-life skills you can use every day to manage stress, improve relationships and feel more confident. I am passionate about assisting students to achieve their goals and enhance their overall quality of life. My style is humorous, honest, and real. I believe therapy works best when you can be your authentic self, and sometimes that means laughing together even when we're doing serious work. I primarily utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused CBT, Motivational Interviewing, Psychodynamic therapy, and Strength-Based approaches while also meeting you where you are. During our therapy journey, you can expect a safe, nonjudgmental environment where you can speak openly and be your authentic self. We'll talk about what brought you in, what's been weighing on you, and what you're hoping will change. I'll ask questions to understand your story, challenges, strengths and goals for treatment. My goal is to help you become the best version of yourself and to create new and better normals. You can expect honesty, humor when appropriate, and real talk about what it takes to move forward. Success is for you to leave our first session feeling supported, hopeful, and clear about the path forward. Remember: keep moving, one step at a time. I provide unconditional support while gently challenging you to grow and successfully complete your goals. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, or feeling unproductive, I am here to walk alongside you while helping you feel empowered, gain knowledge, understanding, and confidence.
