Sulonda Smith, LPC
Imagine waking up feeling calm, happier, and more confident because you've mastered coping skills that decrease anxiety, anger, frustration, and fear! For almost 30 years, in a nonjudgmental and nurturing way, I've helped people live happier lives. Pain has been normalized and we get locked into toxic cycles, then suffer. Learning to love and accept yourself through tough experiences can seem hard to do; but once you learn to change how you think and feel, the situation will change too. I use humor and care as a healing tool. I've helped hundreds of men & women including from racially diverse backgrounds.
