I'm licensed therapist (LCSW) with an eclectic background in multiple disciplines. COVID-19 left many Americans in a state of dispair and distress. My emphasis and background as Mental Specialist encompassed working with adjudicated youth, criminal offenders, an advocate for destitue have been proven vital to help ameliorate the many traumas in reducing adjustment issues, trauma, relationship dynamics, familial dynamics, personal dynamics (e.g., self-esteem). Mr. Smallwood is open all ethnic groups, wtih an emphasis on Male Mental Health and "positive" ethnocentrism for communites impacted by discrimination, and advocacy.
Being a former Special Education Teacher understands the importance of evaluating all pathologies from and biopsychosocialspiritual model. While apprach is within the theorectical framework (s) of psychodynamics and psychoanalysis, my specialites encompasses Cogntive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Solution Focused, Reality Therapy, and many others

My goal is to inculcate many preferred specialty approaches, with intergrative therories, interventions, cultural congruence and appropriation to increase the efficacy of the client.
