I’m Latoya Smith, a licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over a decade of experience helping adults navigate anxiety, depression, and major life transitions.
I’m not just a therapist—I’m a mom, a mentor, and a middle child from a big Miami family. I know what it’s like to juggle responsibilities, to feel unseen, and to keep pouring from an empty cup. That lived experience shapes how I connect, how I listen, and how I help.
Thank you for taking a brave first step. I have 17+ years experience and enjoy helping people reach their counseling goals. You can expect to improve your life and important relationships through personalized counseling and support. I pride myself on being honest, compassionate, patient, (sometimes funny) and effective. I'm a combat veteran, which is important to some people.
Welcome! I'm so glad you're here.
My name is Lexie, and I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP). I founded Still Waters Psychiatric Mental Health, LLC with a passion for helping individuals and families find peace, healing, and hope through evidence-based psychiatric care and compassionate therapy.
I provide both therapy and medication management with a strong emphasis on a holistic, client-centered approach. I specialize in working with children (ages 6–17), young adults (18–35), and pregnant/postpartum mothers—offering support through challenges like anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, mood disorders, and perinatal mental health concerns.
My training has equipped me to treat the whole person while honoring each individual's story, values, and cultural background. I use a range of therapeutic techniques, including trauma-informed care, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and supportive psychotherapy, and I always aim to create a safe, trusting space where you feel heard and empowered.
Whether you're seeking support for your child, navigating young adulthood, or facing the emotional complexities of motherhood, I’m here to walk with you.

Also, specialize in working with couples in which I utilize: Gottman, Imago, personality tests, SYMBIS (save your marriage before it starts).
You don't have to be so stressed. I am a master's level, licensed counselor with 17+ years of experience in private practice and other settings. I will complete an initial assessment with you, suggest a treatment plan based on that, and walk you through a therapeutic process so you're not alone.

Kink and poly friendly couples counselor
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 12 years of experience supporting individuals through some of life’s most difficult challenges. As a U.S. Navy veteran, I bring a deep understanding of the unique stressors faced by service members, veterans, and their families. My work is centered on helping clients navigate PTSD, trauma, and the emotional impact of major life events with compassion, skill, and respect.
I specialize in trauma-informed care, substance abuse counseling, and client-centered therapy tailored to each individual’s needs. My professional background includes extensive experience working with anxiety, depression, addiction, and major life transitions. As a bilingual clinician, I am committed to providing accessible, culturally responsive care to both English- and Spanish-speaking clients.
My therapeutic approach is collaborative, empathetic, and empowering. I integrate evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Narrative Therapy, mindfulness techniques, and trauma-focused interventions to help clients build resilience and achieve meaningful, lasting change.
My goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, supported, and understood. Whether you are processing trauma, navigating recovery, or seeking greater balance and clarity, I am here to walk alongside you. Together, we will work toward healing, growth, and a more fulfilling life.
Healing from trauma is not about forgetting the past-- it's about reclaiming your future. As a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) specializing in trauma and grief, I am dedicated to helping adults and survivors of childhood trauma navigate their healing journey with strength, compassion, and evidence-based care. With training in cognitive processing therapy (CPT), eye movement desensitization reprocessing (EMDR), internal family systems (IFS), trauma-focused CBT, and child parent psychotherapy (CPP), I offer an integrative approach tailored to each client's unique needs and experiences.
Being a mom of four myself, I know how easy it is to put everyone else first and lose sight of your own needs. Life doesn’t pause when you’re overwhelmed, anxious, or stretched too thin—and sometimes it feels impossible to catch your breath, let alone take care of yourself. That's where therapy comes in.
With over 14 years of experience, I bring both professional expertise and personal understanding to the work I do. I use evidence-based approaches that are proven to help create lasting results.
I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist and have been in practice for over 10 years. I completed my masters and doctorate degrees at Nova Southeastern University and then went on to complete my pre doctoral residency at Butler University in Indianapolis and a post doctoral fellowship at the New College of Florida. I spent several years working in University Counseling Centers before switching to private practice. I specialize in identity development, trauma, grief, anxiety, depression as well as personality and relational difficulties. I am LGBTQ+ affirming and welcome individuals from all backgrounds.
