Vanity Smith

Licensed Master Social Worker

She/Her/Hers

I am a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) with a Master’s degree in Social Work from Springfield College. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working across a variety of clinical settings with children, adolescents, adults, and families facing a wide range of emotional, behavioral, and relational challenges.

My experience includes work in therapeutic foster care, partial hospital programs (PHP) for children and adolescents, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)-focused intensive outpatient programs (IOP) for adults ages 18 to 75. Additionally, I have provided in-home psychiatric care through the IICAPS (Intensive In-Home Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Services) model, helping families address complex needs in the comfort of their own environment.

​

I take a strengths-based, trauma-informed approach, drawing from evidence-based practices including DBT, CBT, and family systems therapy. I strive to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel heard, empowered, and equipped to move forward.

I believe that growth is a journey, not a destination—and that each step forward is meaningful. My goal is to not only support healing, but also to provide clients with practical tools for success they can carry with them long after therapy ends.

I am currently accepting new clients for both telehealth and in-person sessions. I look forward to working with you soon!
