About
Hello! My name is Gwen Smithson.
I have been a Marriage and Family Therapist for over 12 years . After graduation I worked at various agencies working with children, adolescents , and adults) until I met my now business partner, Debbie Rasmussen and together we took a leap of faith and opened Balance Therapy Center. a thriving private practice that caters to Couples, Individuals and Families.
My inspiration and passion for this work not only comes from years of education and my fascination with the human psyche, but also from the many twists and turns, dark and light, heartache and joy that this journey called life has taught me. The path to healing is continuous and never-ending.
I incorporate various modalities depending on my clients needs. . My goal is to welcome you into a safe place where together we will take the journey of self discovery, uncovering past or present issues that prevent you from living a more healthy, happy and balanced life!
