I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Art Therapist specializing in eating disorder treatment with more than 15 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, young adults, and women. My expertise in eating disorders is complemented by my focus on helping individuals build self-confidence, develop social skills, and navigate life’s challenges. I graduated from Lesley University with a master’s in expressive therapies in 2009.
With a warm and collaborative approach, I create a safe space where clients can express themselves freely. I help my patients explore their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors, and use art, especially when words are difficult to find.
"V is very good at talking about everything but her feelings, and Smadar spotted this right away. Smadar built a connection with V and helped her slowly unpeel her layers so they could talk about the thoughts and emotions feeding into V’s eating disorders."
“When I first started therapy with her I was on the brink of suicide and losing touch with reality. She literally guided me out of a dark hole to living a full meaning life.”
