Clinical experience with warmth and compassion

Dr. Thomas Smith

I earned my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology (Psy.D.) from Widener University’s Institute of Graduate Clinical Psychology in 2018 and became a licensed psychologist in 2019. I am also a certified school psychologist in Pennsylvania.

During my doctorate program, I gained experience in a variety of settings including: Aquila of Delaware, Northeast Treatment Center, Widener University’s Neuropsychological Assessment Center, Strath Haven Middle School, and Widener Child Therapy Clinic. My post-doctoral residency at Springfield Psychological’s REACH program was located within Upper Merion Area High School and involved individual and group therapy for students at risk of being outplaced.

Since becoming a licensed psychologist in 2019, I have primarily seen teens, young adults, and families at the outpatient level.

I specialize in adolescents, young adults, and families, but also see younger children, adults, and couples. I have experience with the following issues and diagnoses:

  • Family Conflict

  • Anxiety & Depressive Disorders

  • Adults with History of Childhood Trauma

  • LGBTQIA+

  • Stress Management

  • Academic/Motivational Concerns

  • Parent Management Training

  • Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

  • Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD)

  • Collaboration with school

  • Relationship Problems

  • Suicidal Thoughts/Attempts

  • Self-harm

  • Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

  • Trauma-related Disorders
