About Us
Rayland Smith MA, LPC, BC-TMH
Executive Director, Licensed Professional Counselor
Board Certified Telemental Health counselor
I am a licensed professional counselor in Colorado serving the Arkansas Valley for over 10 years. I have worked with a wide range of individuals across the lifespan, in a variety of settings (e.g. private practice, hospital, community mental health, medical clinic--integrated care), with a diversity of concerns to include, depression/anxiety, psychosis, conflict resolution and family/relationship concerns, adult ADHD, parenting, trauma and many other types of issues.
My approach to therapy is empathic, holistic, warm and interactive and strengths based. I believe in every client’s ability to choose their path and will, with compassion and hope, help you begin the often-difficult process of recovery and healing. Although I draw upon many evidenced based theories, I most often utilize rational emotive-behavioral (REBT) and cognitive-behavioral (CBT), insight oriented, existential and solutions focused theories in a brief modality, depending on the nature of the concerns. I believe a lot of positive work can be done in brief therapy.
I also believe wellness encompasses many facets, such as physical, emotional, intellectual, social and spiritual. I respectfully and comfortably explore these facets as appropriate. I will tailor the therapeutic process to meet your needs.
If you are ready to begin this process I am here to empower and support you. I look forward to walking the path of change and recovery together.

Jody Sniff MS, Intern
Counselor Intern
I am a Counselor Intern in Colorado with almost 20 years of experience as a licensed school counselor before beginning this new journey.
I consider myself an eclectic counselor as I use a variety of methods and techniques to help clients. I am trained in and use the following therapies: cognitive behavioral (CBT), dialectical behavioral (DBT), brief strategic family, strengths-based, solution focused, and narrative. I am also a certified wellness coach through the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM). I believe that all people have inherent strengths to get through the challenges of life. My role is to help them see those strengths and use them effectively.
My areas of specialty include:
Conflict resolution, grief counseling, goal setting- including physical and social-emotional wellness, sadness and depression, motivation, parenting, and self-esteem
I love working with all ages and watching children and adults find their assets and gifts to become happy, healthy individuals in this ever-changing world of uncertainties.
