About me

Hi! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of New York, (LCSW-R), certified Family Life Educator (NAD), a Relationship Life Coach and an Empowerment Facilitator with the 4 Real Women International Organization, Inc. (4RWI).

I specialize in family therapy, psychotherapy and mental health counseling that assist couples, individuals, and families regain rightful balance in their relationships with each other, and their overall wellbeing. I give couples hope and courage to change. Couples learn many new skills to recognize their love languages; develop and improve skills in effective communication.

Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Sonia 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.

Dr. Smith is thoughtful, spiritual, and experienced. She has provided me several ways to handle my emotions, and thoughts. I have learned news ways to acknowledge my emotions and consider me, first. Thank you for being supportive and insightful.

Warm, wise and objective. Sees the core of the problem, from a perspective I haven’t thought about even though I tend to think I know it all..

Work with me!
