Demetrius Smith, LPC, Therapist in Atlanta, Georgia

Demetrius Smith helps adults in Georgia navigate anxiety, depression, and trauma with a grounded, compassionate approach designed to support meaningful and lasting change. He provides individual therapy through LifeStance Health and works with adults across a wide range of life stages, offering a steady, collaborative space where clients can explore challenges and build new strategies for emotional well-being. A core focus of Demetrius’s work is addressing the impact of race- and poverty-induced trauma, an area he is deeply committed to because of the significant ways these stressors affect mental health, resilience, and daily functioning. He integrates this passion into treatment by helping clients unpack complex emotional experiences, strengthen identity, and develop practical tools for navigating environments shaped by adversity. Demetrius specializes in anxiety, depression, and PTSD/trauma and offers additional clinical support for concerns such as ADHD and life transitions. His work frequently involves adults connected to adoption and foster care settings, first responders, and military and veteran communities. He uses evidence-based interventions—including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Mindfulness—and provides additional approaches as clinically appropriate. Demetrius’s dedication to underserved and inner-city communities has shaped his long-term mission: to expand access, resources, and support systems for individuals who face structural barriers to mental health care. Outside of his clinical work, he enjoys traveling, learning from different cultures, and spending meaningful time with close friends and loved ones. Demetrius serves patients throughout Georgia through LifeStance Health
