Dion Smith

Dion Smith specializes in trauma resolution and in treatment for alcohol and drug use, drawing on both professional training and his own personal life experience. He also regularly supports people dealing with depression, anxiety, and a wide range of other mental health challenges.

For several years he has provided services as a civilian contractor for clients through a Department of Defense program, with a particular focus on the stresses of military life and the process of returning to civilian life for service members and their families.

His professional journey began in 1994 serving as a master s-level specialist in school psychology, and he later completed the training and state requirements to become a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas. This state licensure (TX LPC 77559) reflects his formal credentials and oversight as a mental health professional.

Dion offers assessment and informed referral services to help ensure clients receive appropriate interventions, and he approaches each person as an individual with unique needs and goals. Treatment plans are crafted to fit those specific priorities rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all method.

Within a trauma-informed cognitive-behavioral framework, he integrates mindfulness practices, Eye Movement Reprocessing and Desensitization (EMDR), experiential methods, and other interventions tailored to the client s objectives. Seeking help can be difficult and anxiety provoking, and Dion emphasizes that his services are tailored to the individual client. He encourages those ready for change not to delay seeking the support that led them to read his profile.
