Karlinda Smith

I earned my Master’s in Social Work from Arizona State University in 2022 and have over six years of experience in public mental health. I’ve worked with youth, adults, and families navigating trauma, substance use, depression, anxiety, ADHD, and life transitions. I’m trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy) ,MI (Motivational Interviewing), CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), Parenting Skills and Gottman Method Levels 1 & 2. I work with individuals, couples, families, and blended families, using a strengths-based and personalized approach to support healing and growth.

Outside of therapy, I recharge by spending time with my husband, Scott, and our children. We love being active outdoors, running, rafting, hiking, or enjoying quiet nights with a movie and Scott’s amazing popcorn. I believe we’re all on our own journey, and if I can meet someone where they are and help them carry their load a little easier, I consider it a privilege. I’m passionate about helping others rediscover their personal strength and resilience.
