"Families often find themselves moving through change necessitated by
marital separations and family break-ups, often without the knowledge
about the impact of these changes on their children. Chad Smith
effectively teaches parents about the importance of open communication
during the transitions of divorce or parental separation. It impresses
upon parents the critical role they play in their child’s ability to
adjust to the changes in their lives. His own faith and Christian
perspective come across in a unique way as he works with families in
transition."
Martha Myers, M.Ed, LPC, Director, Community Services, Lee County Youth Development Center.
"Chad Smith is a very gifted therapist. He has helped our family work
through some difficult and challenging issues. Chad is very perceptive and is able to discern the real issues and then offer counsel that is always grounded in sound, Biblical principles. Chad does a great job
balancing his counsel with compassion and accountability. He is
authentic and treats everyone in a respectful and professional manner.
Chad is trustworthy and all matters are kept strictly confidential. Our
family has the utmost respect for Chad and we are very grateful for the
wonderful changes brought about by his sound therapy."
