Journey to Balance and Wellness
Welcome to Paulette Simone & Associates (PS&A), where our mission focuses on promoting mental, physical, and spiritual harmony. I am Dr. Paulette S. Smith, MS, LCSW-C, and I've dedicated over a decade to specializing in adolescent and family wellness. Founded in 2019, PS&A is a Maryland-based mental health counseling company serving adults and families seeking stability and well-being in their daily lives.
At PS&A, evidence-based practices and holistic therapy support health and healing. We believe in everyone's innate power to heal and find balance within themselves. In addition to our counseling services, we provide consultations and supervision for Licensed Social Workers and Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapists, fostering professional growth and excellence in practice.
Our mission—and our promise at PS&A—is to guide you toward achieving homeostasis, a state where your physical, mental, and spiritual health are in harmony. Thank you for trusting us on your path to wellness. Together, we can unlock the doors to a healthier, more balanced life.
