My name is Mya Smith, and I’m a Licensed Social Worker (LSW) with a Master’s in Social Work from Rutgers University, working through Stellar Counseling Services. I stepped into this work because I’ve witnessed through friends, family, and my own experience, just how important genuine relationships are. We aren’t meant to move through life alone; it’s through connection, understanding, and compassion that we begin to thrive. I’ve worked with adults navigating mental health challenges, crisis situations, and major life transitions, and I’ve learned that meaningful healing always begins with connection.

I take a warm, empathetic, and flexible approach, adjusting my style to fit the needs of the person in front of me. I want to create a space where you can feel safe, encouraged, and open to grow at your own pace regardless of where you are in your journey.

I strongly believe that healing happens through genuine partnership, compassion, and recognizing the strengths you already carry. Together, we can explore your challenges, build new skills, and uncover the resilience you already have within you. I would be honored to support you on your journey.
