Nathan Smith, MS, MFT-I
Marriage and Family Therapy Intern
​
Accepting New Clients ​

​Available for In-person and Teletherapy

​Originally from Austin, Texas, Nathan holds a BS in Psychology from Texas State University and an MS in Couple, Marriage, and Family Therapy from Texas Tech University. He has worked with individuals, couples, and families from a wide range of backgrounds, supporting clients through a broad spectrum of challenges and life transitions. Nathan takes an integrative, relational approach to therapy—drawing from both depth-oriented and systemic models—to help people better understand themselves, loved ones, and the relationships they share. He is passionate about helping clients discover new possibilities for connection, healing, and growth, even in the midst of difficult circumstances.

In addition to clinical experience, Nathan brings a strong foundation in research and education to his work as a therapist. He has collaborated on presentations for conferences organized by the Texas Association of Marriage and Family Therapy, the International Family Therapy Association, and the Asian Academy of Family Therapy on topics such as resilience, family psychology, and systemic approaches to diagnosis. He has also been published in peer-reviewed academic work (The Family Journal). As an undergraduate, Nathan was also a research assistant for a psychology lab that specialized in research in relationship satisfaction and consensual non-monogamy. He’s passionate about connecting research with real-world experience.

Outside of the consulting room, Nathan enjoys spending time with family and friends, exploring new places, and diving into books and ideas that sit at the crossroads of psychology, philosophy, and lived experience. He also enjoys a good movie or video game when he has the time.
