Jalisa Smith, LLMSW

Meet Jalisa, LLMSW – Therapist in Grand Rapids, MI

Jalisa provides compassionate, supportive therapy for adults who may be navigating complex emotions, challenging life circumstances, or longstanding mental health concerns. She works primarily with adults age 25 and older and strives to create a space where clients feel heard, respected, and comfortable being themselves.

Jalisa has experience working with individuals experiencing a range of mental health concerns, including bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, schizophrenia, anxiety, depression, and other complex or co-occurring mental health conditions. She understands that living with significant mental health challenges can feel overwhelming, and she works collaboratively with clients to better understand their experiences, develop effective coping strategies, and identify meaningful steps toward greater stability and well-being.

Jalisa also enjoys working with LGBTQ+ clients and values creating an affirming, nonjudgmental environment where clients can openly explore their identities, relationships, and experiences.

Her approach is individualized and grounded in meeting clients where they are. She recognizes that each person brings their own history, strengths, challenges, and goals to therapy. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, Jalisa works with clients to identify what is most important to them and develop strategies that fit their needs and everyday lives.

Whether you are managing a complex mental health diagnosis, experiencing changes or challenges in your relationships, or simply feeling stuck and looking for support, Jalisa is here to help you navigate the process with compassion and understanding.
