Feel seen, heard and valued
"Connection: The energy that exists between people when they feel seen, heard and valued. When they can give and receive without judgement; and when they derive sustenance and strength from the relationship." - Brené Brown
Michelle Smit
Hi, I'm Michelle. I am fully bilingual in English and Afrikaans and am currently completing my Ph.D.
In addition to my private practice, I work as the clinical leader of a dual diagnosis psychiatric hospital that specializes in addiction. Addiction work is my passion and I am well versed in the complicated nature of addiction and how it not only affects the individual but their friends and families as well. I can help you to navigate this process and to assist you with your battle for sobriety.
I also work with issues such as depression, anxiety, and relationships. Transitional changes and life's obstacles often times comes with a feeling of uncertainty and feeling overwhelmed. Let me assist you in finding clarity, in finding change, and finding a sense of peace.
Therapy Services
Addiction
I have extensive experience in the field of addiction. As the clinical leader of a dual diagnosis (psychiatric with addiction) hospital, I am able to use my experience to assist you in understanding your addiction. I assist with individual work, couples work and educational consultations.
Anxiety
Anxiety may be tricky to understand as it is caused by something we often cannot see or explain.
Relationship
Couples therapy provides a platform for the couple to explore their relationship difficulties and to ascertain a path forward.
Depression
I have worked with individuals who suffer from most types of depression and levels of severity. Depression, both situational and clinical may be challenging and if left untreated may become overwhelming and debilitating.
