A therapist to support your big emotions.
Hi, I’m Lesley Smith (she/they). I help people who struggle with anxiety and other emotions that feel too big to handle alone. I am here to witness your emotions, help you find harmony, and discover where you want to go.
At Mountain Path LLC, you can expect to find a safe place to feel your emotions and understand a little bit about how to get where you want to go.
Lesley Smith, AM, LCSW
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the state of Oregon and I hold a Master’s of Arts in Social Work from the University of Chicago. The primary type of therapy I use is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), with a trauma-informed, harm reduction, and anti-oppressive practice lens. What that means is that I don’t want to label any of your behaviors or thoughts as “good” or “bad” - I want to help you live the life you want to lead and give you some tools along the way, that may help. I do not believe we experience our lives in a vacuum and believe we need to understand the systems of oppression around us, as well as our supports to find the life we want to live. I aim to be creative in my approach, meaning that I want to adapt to whatever approach best fits your needs.
