About me
I am licensed in Florida and North Carolina with 34 years of professional clinical experience during which time I have worked with many children and youth. One of the things I specialize in is helping clients who are undergoing big life changes and needing to construct more preferred identities. That means helping clients with stress and anxiety issues, with school and peer-relationship struggles, with LGBTQ+ related issues, family conflicts, & depression. Although I am not a young person myself, I am able to connect with youth to co-create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. You don't have to feel you must go through this difficult period alone.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Mark Smith. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Teen Counseling might be different.
Professional and effective.
Mark Smith is wonderful, caring, and supportive. Would definitely recomend.
I can highly recommend Mark. He is obviously experienced and well trained. More importantly he listens in a non judgmental manner. He uses active listening. I felt very listened to. I am optimistic that therapy with him will help me suffer less and grow in the right direction.
