Therapy At Jill Smith & Associates

Therapy in Columbia and Lexington, SC

Jill Smith and Associates Counseling is a private counseling practice with offices in downtown Columbia, SC and Lexington, SC, where people just like you come to work out the small ruts, the confusing seasons of life, difficult relationships, and yes, the major crises and losses.  Clients come here to grow, to heal or just to get to know themselves.

Our Therapists

Our psychotherapists are licensed professional counselors and clinical social workers. But they are more than that:  they bring warm personalities, a “realness” and an appreciation for the enormous honor and responsibility it is that you have chosen to work with us. 

We are dedicated and curious about what makes therapy work and about what makes this life so painful and so joyful.  We recognize you are the expert in your story and your emotional life.   To that end, our preeminent goal is to listen and earn your trust.  Then, we walk beside you as you grow, guiding with insights and suggestions and creating a safe space where you can explore the complexities of simply being human.
