Melanie Smith, PhD, LMHC, CEDS-C

Over the past 20 years in field of psychotherapy I have been fortunate to have had incredible learning and training experiences that have instilled a strong commitment to supporting the dissemination and implementation of evidence-based treatments in everyday practice. My therapy practice is focused on providing cognitive-behavioral therapy and related evidence-based treatments for individuals with anxiety disorders, OCD and eating disorders. But my greatest professional passion is mentoring clinicians. I owe much of my personal and career growth to many years of consistent, high quality clinical supervision and mentorship and I feel strongly about paying that forward to clinicians that are eager to learn and grow. I am a Qualified Supervisor for Registered Mental Health Counselors in the State of Florida. Additionally, I am a Certified Eating Disorders Specialist & Approved Consultant (CEDS-C) and can provide the required consultation hours to receive certification from the International Association of Eating Disorder Professionals (iaedp). I am also a Unified Protocol (UP) certified therapist & trainer. Growing in your confidence and competence as a therapist is hard work, but it is worth it! My job as a clinical supervisor, consultant and mentor is to harness your strengths and provide thoughtful, thorough guidance that is grounded in empirical evidence and aligned with best practices. My intention as a supervisor and consultant is to walk alongside you wherever you may be in your developmental journey as a clinician with compassion, patience, a little bit of humor, and a lot of curiosity and vulnerability.
