Therapy & Consultation​
For those of us working to reforge the village.
We were never meant to do this alone.
I help ​to heal inter-generational trauma. These are the wounds passed down from generation to generation, the burdens we took on from our parents and can unwittingly pass on to the next generation.
​
You can break the cycle.
​
But not by being harder on yourself. We break cycles by understanding our true needs, accepting help, and building the tools to create the world we deserve.
​
I'm Brecca Smith, and I offer psychotherapy for adults and children focused on issues related to intergenerational trauma, parenting, childcare, and the stress of modern life. As a therapist, I join your village for a little while, and that kind of joining can be a bridge to the lives we yearn to live.
​​
I also offer mental health consultation in childcare settings for providers and families, because these services are an essential part of the modern village.

"Our profound feelings of lacking something are not a reflection of a personal failure, but the reflection of a society that has failed to offer us what we were designed to expect.” -- Francis Weller
Services
I work with adults struggling with inter-generational trauma which may show up as anxiety, depression, or PTSD. I use a relational, neurodiversity and trauma-informed approach.
As parents, our mental health directly effects our parenting. I support parents who want to stop unhealthy cycles, learn how to build healthy attachment, and get support themselves.
I support children's mental health by strengthening their bond with their caregivers. I utilize attachment, developmental neuroscience, and trauma-informed care.
