Over the past 30 years, I have worked with about 400 men who were sexually abused during childhood. These men often come to me feeling hopeless and lost. With my experience and expertise, I am generally able to instill a sense of hope and optimism quite quickly. While therapy to address the long-term effects of childhood sexual abuse is certainly a long and difficult process, the men with whom I work usually see dramatic improvement across virtually every area of their lives. It is enormously gratifying to see these men move from despair to optimism, success and joy.

Hello, I am Vicki Smith. I have a Masters of Arts in counseling from the University of Mary-Hardin Baylor and I am an LPC in the state of Texas. I have been a counselor since 2009. I worked as an educator in Texas public middle schools for 30 years. I specialize in counseling adolescents. Do I have them completely figured out?... does anyone?... but I have a deep affection for them and endeavor to help them find their way in life. I can, however, work with all age groups.

Do you struggle communicating when moments get intense or vulnerable? Do you understand your emotions and why you think or act the way you do? Have you been hurt by someone you care about? Or perhaps for some reason, you hurt them? Do you know what you want for your life, relationships, family, career? What about in a year? Or the next five years? Do you have regrets you need to work through?

Firstly, I am so glad you are looking for opportunities to grow! As a clinical social worker, my commitment is to assist clients in unveiling their fullest potential. Self-reflection allows us to acknowledge the less polished aspects of ourselves. It's perfectly normal to stumble; the key is learning from every experience. I especially enjoy walking along side individuals navigating life transitions (moving, graduating, new job, leaving or beginning a new romantic relationship, etc). Sometimes past wounds can prevent us from achieving our goals, I can help you build tools to break down these barriers.

We all do the best we can to cope, but sometimes our efforts throw us out of balance. I work with individuals who are feeling the impacts of these imbalances viscerally, either people who are analytically minded who feel emotions are a hinderance or people who are highly sensitive whose feelings can act like an overwhelming tidal wave. Our imbalances can manifest in depression, anxiety, overwhelming stress, or a dissatisfaction with relationships. In our work together you can expect for us to create treatment goals guided by your core values that move you towards clarity and growth.

Sometimes life give us unexpected (or even unwanted) challenges that are much easier to successfully navigate with help and support. Living and thriving as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community is a beautiful thing, but there can also be many challenges along the way that can leave their marks on us: struggling for self-acceptance or the acceptance of those we love, bullying and harassment, finding and expressing our authentic selves, feeling like we "fit", and having healthy and stable relationships. These challenges are in addition to mental and emotional challenges that are not specific to our community's experience.

Do you feel like your relationship is stuck? Or like every conversation turns into the same fight over and over? Does it feel like a recent life change messed up a good thing? Maybe your relationship with your kid is getting harder and harder. Or your kid’s just a ‘turd.’ Does it sometimes feel like your emotions are controlling you? The good news is, these feelings are very common. Most of us get stuck in patterns that seem to get in the way of where we want to go. We develop those patterns without even noticing; one day we just notice things aren’t like we want them to be.
