Hi, my name is Dr. Maricela Smith and I am a licensed psychologist in the State of Arizona. I specialize in working with patients diagnosed with a serious mental illness and/or part of the general mental health population. I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families. My ideal patient would be someone ready to make changes in their life. Seeing personal growth and aiding in other's progress makes my job enjoyable and rewarding. I strive to help my patients through difficult times, be there as a support, help them shrug off the necessary mistakes, and celebrate their successes.
I tend to incorporate various treatment modalities (e.g., CBT, ACT, DBT, person-centered, REBT, other evidence-based treatments) as I tailor therapy to the specific needs of the patient. I am a strong advocate of a “strengths-based” approach to therapy.
I strive to make my patients feel comfortable and encourage collaborative documentation and goal setting in all of my sessions. I would like to be a part of your mental health journey to recovery if/when you are ready.
