Therapy at JSA
Therapy at Jill Smith & Associates
We believe seeing a therapist should be as routine as your morning walk, reading a book, or going to the gym.
You know the feelings: anger, unhappiness, the endless hamster-wheel worries and irritations, relationships going south, sadness and lethargy, disconnection. Everyone blaming you. Or you blaming everyone.

Common questions
How to know where to start
You do not need to diagnose yourself before you call.
What if I am not sure which service I need?
Start with the concern that feels most urgent, or tell us in plain language when you request an appointment. Our intake team matches you with a clinician and modality without requiring a self-diagnosis.
How quickly can I be seen?
We typically schedule new clients within a week, depending on specialty and office. Share your timing when you request an appointment.
What if the first match is not right?
Jill Smith & Associates stands behind the fit. Tell your therapist or call 803-814-5559 and we will help you find a different clinician.
