ABOUT REAGHAN T. SMITH, LMHC

FOUNDER OF COME AS YOU ARE MENTAL HEALTH

 

At Come As You Are Mental Health, I believe that therapy is a space where you can show up fully—without pressure, judgment, or expectation. I am a licensed mental health counselor based in New York, and I am passionate about supporting individuals as they navigate life’s challenges, gain insight, and move toward meaningful change. My approach to therapy is collaborative and tailored to your unique needs. I integrate solution-focused, psychodynamic, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques to help you better understand your experiences, develop coping strategies, and create lasting growth. For those who desire it, I also offer Christian counseling as a way to incorporate faith and spiritual guidance into the therapeutic process.

​

APPROACH

I believe that meaningful change begins with understanding. In our work together, we will explore your thoughts, emotions, and patterns in a way that feels safe and manageable.​Therapy with me is not about having all the answers—it’s about creating space to ask the right questions, gain clarity, and move forward with intention.​

​

EXPERIENCE

I have over six years of experience providing mental health services to individuals navigating a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, and life transitions.​Throughout my work, I have supported clients in developing greater self-awareness, strengthening coping skills, and building healthier ways of relating to themselves and others.
