Tori Smith, LMSW

Hi, I’m Tori.

Growing up, I always knew I wanted to help people, but I wasn’t sure exactly how. I admired teachers and nurses, but I knew those fields were not right for me. In high school, I learned about social work, and that instantly became my career goal. I attended the University of Delaware and majored in Family and Community Services, and then continued at Delaware State University to obtain my masters degree in social work. Throughout the last 20 years, I have worked in non-profit, mental health, and medical settings.

My goal as your therapist is to provide you with a safe and comfortable space to work through the obstacles and stressors you may be experiencing.

I have gained experience working with adults struggling with anxiety and depression, as well as people diagnosed with chronic illnesses and encountering significant life changes. My therapy style is eclectic and individualized, pulling in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and person centered approaches.

I truly believe in a holistic approach that explores self-care, sleep, nutrition, and movement.
