Passionate Therapist and Recent NYU Graduate
Hello, I’m Lexi Smiertka, a dedicated Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) and a recent graduate from NYU (May 2022). I am thrilled to contribute to positive change through therapy as a part of the Wellness Psychotherapy Services team, offering telehealth therapy sessions.
Professional Passion:
My journey is fueled by a passion for making a positive impact on individuals’ lives through therapeutic support. I bring this enthusiasm to my work, providing a compassionate, client-centered space for individuals to express their concerns and navigate life’s challenges.
Diverse Experience:
I have diverse experience working with different age groups and populations. From supporting kids aged 4-17 in school social work and summer camps across America to aiding adults (ages 18-70) facing severe mental illnesses and families entangled with incarceration and the foster care system.
Holistic Practice:
My practice extends across individuals, couples, and group work. Working with diverse identities and backgrounds, I’ve centered my therapeutic approach around strength-based work. I empower clients to recognize their full capabilities and self-worth.
Adaptable Modalities:
I draw from various therapeutic modalities, including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Exposure and Response Prevention therapy. I am continuously refining my craft to provide the most effective and personalized care.
Genuine Connection:
Above all, my goal is to establish a genuine connection filled with compassion, empathy, and even a touch of humor. I look forward to meeting you where you are at and creating a safe space centered around your needs and goals.
Your Journey Starts Here:
If you are seeking a therapist committed to your well-being and ready to collaborate on your unique path, I am here for you. Let’s embark on this journey together towards positive change and personal growth.
