Bonita Smith, LCPC-S

Owner & Therapist

Hello! For over 10 years, I’ve provided thoughtful, compassionate psychotherapy to adults and couples, with a special focus on Black women’s mental health. I specialize in EMDR, attachment-focused couples and marriage counseling, and fertility, perinatal, and maternal mental health, and my work is trauma-informed and culturally grounded. I support women navigating anxiety, infertility and pregnancy loss, stress, life transitions, and the postpartum period, and I help couples reconnect and communicate through some of life’s biggest changes.

I also offer clinical supervision to Licensed Graduate Professional Counselors (LGPCs) in Maryland, and I facilitate professional development workshops and trainings on wellness, cultural responsiveness, and trauma-informed professional practice.

My work is grounded in person-centered evidence-based approaches that help clients reconnect with their strengths and sense of purpose. I truly believe in the healing and restorative potential of therapy and feel honored to do this work.

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor Supervisor (LC9755) in Maryland. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Washington, D.C. (PRC200012841). I obtained my Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from Bowie State University.
