Adjunct Faculty
Biography
Dr. Shaquita S. Adams-Smith. I hold a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Social Work and a Doctorate in Education. As a Behavioral Health Specialist, I have 15 years of experience working as a community-based Based Social Worker. I've worked with adults, children, and families of diverse backgrounds in many different settings, with many different issues. My specialties include work with depression, anxiety, trauma, abuse, and family issues. As your Behavior Health Therapist, I work to offer a listening ear and a realistic perspective to almost any problem, whether it's a parenting, relationship, or family issue, or if you need help overcoming your fear, anxiety, anger, hurt, or just plain crazy-off-the-wall-stressful lifestyle. I draw upon many schools of thought, including cognitive-behavioral therapy, reality therapy, structural family therapy, and various trauma-informed approaches.
