About

My name is Kay Smith. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and hold a Doctor of Psychoanalysis degree from the Institute for Contemporary Psychoanalysis in Los Angeles. Contemporary psychoanalysis is a special way of exploring the relationships and life experiences that have shaped your individual way of relating to yourself and others.

My holistic approach begins with your story. I view the therapeutic experience as a collaboration, and aim for an authentic exploration of all aspects of your life experience including the relationship that will develop between us. I believe that we all long to feel more connected to our unique self-ness, to feel recognized, and to feel effective. I pay close attention to your dreams, because during sleep the mind offers us special glimpses into what it is working through. I also incorporate mindfulness-oriented practices that focus on increasing non-judgmental awareness of the present moment.

I have worked extensively with adults who have experienced trauma, depression, anxiety, chronic illness, life and relationship changes, grief, and family of origin issues. While your suffering may be what brings you to therapy, our work will also aim to discover tender parts of you that may have been hidden away and to build upon parts of you that are vibrant and alive. Often therapy that focuses on health and wholeness can be as enlightening as therapy that is problem-focused.

I look forward to meeting you and coming to know your story.
