About me
Beverly (Ann) Smith Bio
In addition to being a therapist, I am a licensed clinical social worker (MSW, LCSW), certified dementia practitioner and former Baccalaureate trained nurse. This unique background enables me to empower others in multiple ways.
My over 20 years of experience includes working in hospitals, clinics, adoption/foster care agencies, assisted living facilities, and teaching as an adjunct professor at local junior colleges.
I have counseled children, teens, foster parents, grandparents, young parents, members of the LGBTQ community, and cisgender adults using cognitive behavioral therapy, narrative therapy, and mindfulness-based therapy.
I believe that good outcomes with therapy are significantly linked to being matched with the therapist best suited for you. My goal is to be caring, honest, compassionate, committed and effective.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Beverly Smith. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Regain might be different.
Great listener. Offers good advice.
I’m so appreciative of the time I’ve had to speak with Ms. Beverly. She listens well and we come up with great solutions to my problems. She has taught me so much and given me a new outlook on the things I’m dealing with. Anyone would be blessed to have her as their therapist!
Beverly has been our blessing! She is clear and direct! She was out last hope and we are a better couple not only for ourselves, but for our children. Her tools and advice has made it possible to blend our family more successfully!
Nice and listens but will break it down for you to understand where to go next.
She listens well and gives great useable advice. She able to communicate clearly so we can follow and improve our relationship
