Dr. Mylischa Smith-Lewis, DSW, LCSW-BACS

Founder, Psychotherapist, and Chief Clinical Consultant

Welcome!

As a psychotherapist, I’m here to help you get back to an active, joy-filled life, where you can feel calm and confident in your mind and body. I’m passionate about helping women who struggle with anxiety related to their health, a chronic medical condition, or a traumatic medical experience. Additionally, I help healthcare professionals recover from workplace trauma and burnout, and heal from the physical and emotional toll of their careers. I offer EMDR therapy, a brain- and body-based treatment, to help my clients eliminate their anxiety and trauma, while also reducing physical distress present in the body.

As a clinical consultant and trainer, I assist healthcare providers and organizations with their most challenging populations through trauma-informed, evidence-based, and culturally-responsive interventions and program development. I also work with community and corporate organizations on employee wellness, mental health education, and other capacity-building efforts.

“The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don't have any”
