Jerrell Smith

Dr. Smith is a clinical psychologist based in Aurora, Colorado, but credentialed through PSYPACT to see patients virtually in 27 states.

Dr. Smith has extensive experience working with individuals and couples who are struggling with complex trauma histories, relationship difficulties, depression, issues of identity and sexuality, life transitions, existential, spiritual, and religious crises, and those feeling a lack of meaning in life despite significant success. He is also frequently successful with those who have had unsatisfying experiences with therapy in the past. The people he works with come from all walks of life and backgrounds, but often share a commitment to and longing for a deeper understanding of themselves and their relationships.

Dr. Smith approaches each patient's needs with an appreciation for the uniqueness of each person's psychology. Clinical research is useful in helping us understand the average for humans, but no person is the average. Each person is a unique amalgam of experiences, innate temperament, and perspective. A truly depth focused transformative therapy requires an exploration and shared understanding by patient and therapist of the individuals' lived experience in relation to themselves, the people in their lives, and the world around them. In this awareness and the security of the therapeutic relationship the space for choice and change is created.

Dr. Smith has practiced for nine years, the first eight with the United States Army as a civilian psychologist working with intense and complex trauma and relationship difficulties. He is available for virtual therapy in AL, AZ, AR, CO, DE, DC, GA, IL, KS, KY, ME, MD, MN, MO, NE, NV, NH, NJ, NC, OH, OK, PA, TN, TX, UT, VA, WV.
