CHASITIY SMITH, M.S-MFCT, PLMFT
Marriage & Family Therapy for Teens, Young Adults & Parents
Hi! I am Chasitiy
I’m Chasitiy Smith, M.S-MFCT, PLMFT, a Provisionally Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with more than a decade of experience in behavioral health. My background includes clinical leadership and behavioral health administration, but my deepest passion has always been direct client care—sitting with teens, young adults, and families as they navigate real-life challenges.
I bring a warm, collaborative, and goal-oriented style to therapy, helping you understand patterns, strengthen relationships, and build practical tools for lasting change.
“Great things are done by a series of small things brought together.”
Who I Work Best With
I work primarily with adolescents, young adults, and adults who are navigating:
Substance use & recovery
Parenting challenges and co-parenting stress
Family conflict and communication breakdowns
Trauma and difficult life experiences
Repeating relationship patterns that feel hard to change
I’m especially dedicated to helping families strengthen their relationships, rebuild trust, and create healthier ways of relating to each other over time.
If you’re a parent, caregiver, or young person who feels like “we keep having the same arguments” or “we love each other but can’t seem to connect,” we’re likely a good fit.
How I Practice
How I Practice
My approach blends evidence-based therapy with a strong family systems lens so that we can understand both individual struggles and the dynamics around them.
I integrate:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – exploring thoughts, emotions, and behaviors
Person-centered therapy – you are the expert on your own life
Motivational Interviewing – supporting readiness and motivation for change
Solution-Focused strategies – identifying what’s working and building on strengths
In sessions, you can expect:
A nonjudgmental, supportive space to talk about what’s really going on
Curious questions to understand patterns, not blame
Attention to how past experiences and current systems (family, school, work) impact you
Clear, practical steps to support growth between sessions
Support for Families & Parents
Family work might include:
Helping parents and caregivers respond to behavior in new ways
Improving communication between teens and adults
Clarifying expectations, boundaries, and roles
Addressing the impact of substance use, trauma, or stress on the whole family
We move at a pace that feels safe and sustainable, while still keeping an eye on the goals that matter most to you.

What it’s like to work with me
Clients often describe me as:
Warm and easy to talk to
Structured, but not rigid
Direct in a kind way
Focused on real change, not just talk
