Hello,

 

My name is Caprice Smith and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and certified in addiction. I am a native of Saint Petersburg Florida and I graduated from Florida State University. Growing up in a minority community I discovered that mental health treatment was not received well & often overlooked. I then made it my mission to change the face of mental health biases. I have experience in treating depression, anxiety & substance abuse. I have an extensive history in working with adults & adolescents. I particularly enjoy working with adolescents because they are resilient & keeps a smile on my face. I believe that treatment should be enjoyable and that a trusting relationship between my clients & I should be at the center. I provide a fulfilling therapeutic experience by keeping the needs of my clients first & providing the tools needed to help my clients thrive.

 

My treatment approach is focused on pulling out the best version of my clients and is geared towards their unique needs. I utilize mindfulness, exposure response prevention (ERP), behavioral activation (BA), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) and motivational interviewing (MI). All evidence-based treatment modalities to help improve quality of life. I am committed & engaged with my clients & their families every step of the way.

​

I also provide Christian counseling!

​

Caprice enjoys, traveling, going to church, spending time with family & friends & being an aunt.
