How does Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) work?

Welcome! I'm Tori Smith, a licensed therapist in the South Bay of Los Angeles. I specialize in working with young professionals, graduate students, and anxious overthinkers who are feeling out of place, overwhelmed with self-doubt, and unable to trust their own decision making. I can help you discover the ways that your past experiences might be keeping you stuck and how to move beyond those patterns. With a holistic mind-body approach, I will help you find new ways to reconnect with the parts of your life that bring meaning and joy. I provide therapy to clients who are ready for change, and I specialize in treating anxiety and trauma holistically using a mind-body focus. I provide therapy online to California residents.

My pronouns are she/her/hers. No matter if it's change for the better or a challenge we never imagined having to face, it can throw everything in life out of balance. If you're here, it's because you know there's more to life than the way you feel today. You're beyond the point of just surviving day-to-day, and you're ready to tap into your purpose, turning these life changes into something you can feel in control of and ultimately grow from. I specialize in coming alongside people as they walk through the uncomfortable, messy parts of life. I bring a no-nonsense, solution-oriented approach to therapy, helping you come to a place of contentment with life as it is, not as you wish it was (or even as you deserve it to be). Because true peace comes when we come to a place of acceptance: no longer relying on external factors as the source of our happiness. ​Therapy with me is a little different than what you may have encountered in the past. A lot of mental health work these days is very "feel good", leading many to believe that being mentally well is simply being happy or un-phased by the circumstances around them. I believe you're allowed to be angry or anxious or upset when life gets messy. Therapy is simply about equipping you to process and cope with those very real emotions in a productive, healthy way.

Hello! I've been a therapist for 5 years. I strive to provide a non-judgmental, safe space for anyone seeking therapy. Life can be hard y'all! A lot of times it helps to have someone to talk to and explore thoughts and feelings with.
