Lana Draney Smith, M.A., LPC
Every Age Every Stage Founder, Director, and Clinician
With over 38 years in the trenches of marriage, raising a large family, and working, I have a vast array of experience in almost every age and every stage of life. From toddlers to teenagers, young adults to aging parents, I understand that life can be hard, relationships can be painful, and stress can be overwhelming.
As a Licensed Professional Counselor, strength-based and person-centered therapy is my focus. My professional experience includes working with survivors of interpersonal and sexual violence, adoption, family systems, parenting, as well as trauma, anxiety, and depression.
Together we'll focus on making peace with the past, finding joy in the present, and bringing clarity to your future. It's time for you to let go of the things that hold you back and start to discover all the ways in which you were meant to shine.
