About
Welcome! My name is Smith M. Tilka and I am Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Nationally Certified Counselor. I am so happy that you made it to my page and are in the process of taking these monumental next steps in starting your healing journey. Indeed, this can be an intimidating yet empowering moment for you. I must emphasize that I truly believe in the therapeutic process of change. And it is through gaining awareness, acceptance, and resolving action that one can work towards unburden themselves from their presenting issues and heal from their past wounds. My process is to create a warm and non-judgmental place to do so. I specialize in psychodynamic psychotherapy. I utilize both individualistic and systemic approaches to all diagnostic and treatment planning. I treat individuals, groups, families, couples, adults, adolescents, and children. I offer experiential healing, trauma processing techniques, motivational training, self-regulation strategies, and psychoeducation. I am committed to fostering a positive therapeutic relationship with clients in order to help reduce and/or alleviate their struggles with competence, compassion, and care. That is, because I know that the therapeutic alliance is one of the most powerful resources and tools that we have as therapists to create the best therapeutic outcomes for our clients.
