Michaela Smith is a dedicated and compassionate School-Based Clinician and Site Manager at Boston Public Schools, where she provides therapeutic support to students in an educational setting. With over five years of experience working with children and adolescents in outpatient therapeutic settings, Michaela Smith is skilled in applying evidence-based practices such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help students navigate emotional and behavioral challenges.
In addition to her school-based work, Michaela has a background in residential treatment for adults, giving her a comprehensive understanding of mental health across age groups. Michaela Smith is a Licensed Certified Social Worker (LCSW) and is trained in both school-based DBT and CBT, bringing a versatile and holistic approach to mental health care.
I am committed to creating a supportive and safe environment for students to thrive academically and emotionally, collaborating with teachers, staff, and families to foster growth and resilience. My therapeutic approach is rooted in compassion, respect, and collaboration, striving to create a supportive, patient-centered environment where every individual feels valued and empowered to actively participate in their therapeutic journey.
