Holly Smith, LPC

Director

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a diverse background treating mental health and substance abuse disorders.  I received my master's degree in counselor education with an emphasis in community and addiction from The College of William & Mary. I have worked in emergency services and crisis intervention for three different Virginia community services boards. Since 2010, I have been supervising community-based programs in the New River Valley.  My current interests include clinical supervision, program management, and leadership, as well as recruiting and training future human services professionals. I have a natural love of helping people.

Clinical Supervisor

I joined the NCG community in March 2020.  I earned my Bachelor of Science degree in Human Services Counseling with a Minor in Sociology from Old Dominion University and Master of Social Work degree from Norfolk State University. I am passionate about working with children, adults, and families to reach desired levels of success and self-actualization using counseling as a vehicle of change. I have extensive experience working within the school, home, and community settings. My career has included: program planning and management, outpatient counseling, therapeutic day treatment (K-12 grade levels), substance use, mental health, and 7 years of teaching in social work higher education. I love to spend time with my family, party planning/decorating and crafting!
