Feel seen, heard and valued
Michelle Smit
Hi, I'm Michelle. I am fully bilingual in English and Afrikaans and am currently completing my Ph.D.
I am based in Paarl (Bloemendal Clinic) for individual therapy sessions.
In addition to my private practice, I have a group practice for a dual diagnosis psychiatric clinic that specializes in substance abuse at Bloemendal Clinic. Substance abuse work is my passion and I am well versed in the complicated nature of thereof and how it not only affects the individual but their friends and families as well. I can help you to navigate this process and to assist you with your battle for sobriety.
I also work with issues such as depression, anxiety, and relationships. Transitional changes and life's obstacles often times come with a feeling of uncertainty and feeling overwhelmed. Let me assist you in finding clarity, in finding change, and in finding a sense of peace.

ANXIETY
Anxiety may be tricky to understand as it is caused by something we often cannot see or explain.
DEPRESSION
I have worked with individuals who suffer from most types of depression and levels of severity.
Depression, both situational and clinical may be challenging and if left untreated may become overwhelming and debilitating.
RELATIONSHIPS
Couples therapy provides a platform for the couple to explore their relationship difficulties and to ascertain a path forward.
