I believe we are all finally recognizing that a more holistic approach to treatment is needed. With over 40+ years of experience working in community mental health and private practice, I know the importance on our assessing and understanding all of the ways society impacts every individual. Everything around us matters, even beyond our personal relationships with our families, colleagues and friends. Speaking as a proud social worker, I know to effectively diagnose and treat a human problem needs a fully inclusive, psycho-social model of evaluation. I am here, tailored to help for your specific and unique needs.
I offer interactive, strength-based, results oriented consultation, counseling, and psychotherapy in a caring, confidential environment. I focus on aging; adoption; anxiety; depression; co-dependence; family dysfunction; grief; loss; identity; and relationships. Schedule a free 15-30 minute consultation to see if we make a good fit! See jwsmall.com.
Forty years personal and professional experience uniquely qualifies me to understand the particular issues affecting individuals touched by adoption, infertility, kinship, attachment, and DNA search. My publications include "The Adoption Mystique", a USA Book News award winning finalist. And, "Adopted in America: A Study of Stigma". Download it free at SSRN.
