Jennie Smith

“Jennie connected with my son using a charismatic approach which helped him feel safe in therapy, and he was able to open up and work through his challenges. He genuinely felt like she cared about him and wanted to see him be successful. “

Jennie is a dedicated mental health professional with more than 18 years of experience working with adolescents and families in residential treatment. She earned her Master’s degree in Social Work from Brigham Young University and is an UAMFT-approved clinical supervisor. She is also EMDR certified and trained in trauma-informed care, bringing a compassionate and evidence-based approach to her work with youth.

Jennie believes that meaningful change begins with compassion, vulnerability and connection. She strives to create a safe, supportive environment where adolescents feel heard, understood, and empowered to work through challenges and build healthier, more fulfilling lives.

Outside of her professional work, Jennie enjoys staying active and spending time outdoors. She played soccer at BYU and continues to enjoy trail running, camping, fishing, hiking, and just about anything that gets her outside. Her love of the outdoors and active lifestyle reflects the same energy, resilience, and sense of adventure she brings to her work with adolescents.

With nearly two decades of experience, Jennie is passionate about walking alongside young people as they discover their strengths, develop confidence, and create meaningful change in their lives.
