Existential therapy
Through existential therapy, Integral therapy, humanistic psychology, Transpersonal psychology and other holistic psychotherapy approaches, Dr. Smith has helped clients navigate crises of faith to a resolution that allows them to fully realize their inherent core beliefs and find peace.
