Destinee Smith
I support individuals and families in managing anxiety, navigating relationship challenges, and adapting to life transitions. As a Black, Queer, cisgender counselor, I bring an intersectional lens and cultural humility to our work together. My approach is affirming, collaborative, and grounded in self-exploration. I help clients build insight and skills to move toward greater self-understanding, self-acceptance, and meaningful change.
I'm a therapist with Octave and Evernorth Behavioral Care Group. Octave is a mental health practice providing high-quality care covered by multiple insurances. Evernorth Behavioral Care Group is a behavioral health provider group in-network with Cigna Healthcare and Evernorth. For my availability, please reach out to Octave’s team by emailing or calling.
