Alayna Smith – LPC, CPCG

"I create a space to meet you where you are at, where you feel heard, where you are welcomed and accepted with respect."
About Me & My Approach

I am a Certified Professional Guardian and Conservator (CPGC) problem gambling counselor with years of experience supporting individuals and families navigating substance use and mental health challenges.

I utilize a person-centered approach to therapy, developing individualized treatment plans that reflect each client’s unique strengths, goals, and needs. I integrate evidence-based practices, including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), to help clients build healthy coping skills, improve emotional regulation, and create meaningful, lasting change.

I primarily work with adults. I also provide treatment for gambling-related concerns and serve as an Alcohol and Drug Substance Abuse Course (ADSAC) Assessor. My compassionate, collaborative style empowers clients to take an active role in their healing, growth, and recovery journey.

My passion for this work is deeply personal. Having witnessed the impact of substance use and mental health challenges within my own family, I entered this field wanting to better understand addiction and recovery.

Through my education and clinical experience, I developed a strong belief that addiction is a complex and treatable condition, not a moral failing. That perspective continues to shape how I support clients today: with empathy, respect, and hope for lasting recovery.

Of course, there’s a me outside of counseling. When I’m not in the therapy room, you’ll find me spending time with my family, catching live music, or competing at trivia nights!
