Chloe Smith-Ferguson, LCSW

Chloe Smith-Ferguson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), a license that designates clinical training in social work, who brings a breadth of experience supporting people through stress, mood disorders, relationship challenges, trauma, and life transitions. She centers her work on helping people identify what they want from life and then creating practical steps to move toward those goals, whether that involves building coping skills, exploring and processing emotions, reframing unhelpful thoughts, or developing concrete behavioral plans.

Her clinical background includes an Interprofessional Fellowship with the Veterans Health Administration, where she provided both individual and group therapy. She has specific training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and she holds a certification in social skills training. Chloe has worked with a wide age span, including people ages 12 - 75, and with varied presentations from situational anxiety and depression to chronic and persistent mental illnesses.

Chloe approaches care from the perspective that each person is the expert in their own life and that the therapist's role is to guide and support. She combines cognitive behavioral, humanistic, and psychodynamic influences to tailor treatment to each individual. She is currently not accepting new clients.
