A little about me:
My name is Tahaji Smith (she/her), and I decided to make a huge career change 5 years ago. I am currently a Master of Social Work graduate, and Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20+ years of public service experience. Previously, I worked for 17 years as a 911 call taker and dispatcher for one of the largest law enforcement agencies in the nation, but I decided to pursue a career doing what I love…helping others become the best version of themselves.
My experience has offered me the opportunity to assist clients that are attempting to manage life’s challenges in the midst of stress, anxiety, low motivation, issues with self-esteem, lack of confidence, depression, substance abuse, and crisis events. I also have experience working with compassion fatigue by helping others that help others. I work closely with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
