Chico Creek Counseling

Joe Smith, MS, Associate MFT

Life can be overwhelming. Therapy can help. Together we can explore your strengths, beliefs, commitments and the resources that can help you gain influence over the problems in your life. I believe life can be better for you and those you care about. I look forward to meeting you and being a caring and nonjudgmental help during this time.

Experience

I work with individuals, couples, families and children from all walks of life, those struggling with past traumas, relational issues, life transitions – and anyone simply seeking support unravelling difficult thoughts and emotions.

After graduating from Chico State University with an MS degree in counseling psychology – Marriage and Family Therapy, I gained additional training and experience treating complex trauma with brain spotting, narrative and solution-focused approaches for individual and couples therapy. I also trained in play and experiential approaches for working with children and teens. I have supported families learning the Nurtured Heart Approach. My school traineeships included LGBTQIA specific counseling at Stonewall Alliance, school-based counseling for a local non-profit, and group counseling for adults experiencing severe mental health challenges.

Personal Info

Chico is my hometown where I grew up, raised my children, and where I now sometimes lose count of my grandchildren.  My community has supported and nurtured me through ups and downs, for this I am forever grateful. I love the beautiful surroundings of Northern California, and explore when able. I consider my best days in the company of family and friends, out in nature, watching a movie, listening to music, or getting lost in a book. Life can be good.
