Provisionally Licensed Professional Counselor

I am Tammie Hart-Smith and am a provisionally licensed professional counselor at our Bridgeport clinic.

I have an extensive background in prison programming, was a middle/high school coach, and taught school special education. I especially enjoy working with children, adolescents, and adults who are striving to become comfortable and accepting of themselves, despite the past they have been given. As a therapist, I accept my clients for who they are in their mental health journey and assist my clients to change their thinking to improve emotions and behaviors while understanding past experiences, mistakes, or hardships don’t have to dictate who they become.

Through creating a safe environment, you will free to openly express your thoughts, feelings, and emotions without judgement. Cognitive behavior and rational emotive behavior therapies will assist you to learn about your area of concern and assist you to take a deeper look into stressors that lead to reactivity with the goal of promoting positive behaviors.

I believe identifying you needed help and then sought out help shows you are courageous and have what it takes to progress towards becoming a healthier person who effectively reacts to life’s stressors. When you are ready to take the next step, I would honored to be able to walk along side of you during your wellness journey.
