Rachel A Smith, MA, LPC, LCDC

As a Christian counselor, my heart is to meet people where they are and gently walk with them toward healing, hope, and growth. I believe every person’s story matters—and that no one is ever too far gone for restoration. With over 19 years of experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor, I’ve had the privilege of working with individuals and families across all stages of life, from newborns to adults. Life can be especially challenging for children and teens facing issues like bullying, peer pressure, and exposure to drugs. I strive to create a safe, compassionate space where they can feel heard, understood, and supported. My own experience growing up without a voice fuels my passion to help others know that *their* voice matters and *their* feelings are valid. I earned both my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Counseling from Wayland Baptist University. Grounded in faith, I integrate spiritual truth with practical tools to guide clients through their struggles and toward lasting change. Whether you're navigating crisis, recovery, or simply seeking clarity, my goal is to walk alongside you with grace, truth, and purpose.
