mission
Authentic Therapists
As Black Therapists, we bring ourselves into the therapy room. Our culture, our history, the lessons from our own lived experiences, in addition to our professional training. We understand in practicing Holistic Health, how everything is interconnected and that in order to help clients achieve balance and harmony within themselves, we have to be mindful of who we are.
Vision
A Connected Community
Our vision is the ripple effect of healing through the generations - our ancestors and our descendants. Healing the individual impacts the couple; healing the couple impacts the family; healing the family impacts the community; healing the community impacts our future. "If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together. " - African proverb.
about
Onaje l. Smartt
Hello, my name is Onaje L. Smartt. I am the founder of Smartt Love Therapy: A Marriage and Family Professional Corporation. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, a Relationship Coach, and a Clinical Supervisor.
​
Relationships take work, but sometimes we don't know what work needs to be done, or how to do it in a way that strengthens the connections between us. That's where Smartt Love comes in. Therapy is like an objective mirror that reflects thoughts, feelings, and emotions. Through this mirror, you can begin to see a clearer picture of your relationship, so much so, that eventually you can carry that image outside of the therapy room & be happy & confident in what you see.
I graduated from Hampton University with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology. ​I graduated from Northwestern University with a Master of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy. ​I have been practicing therapy for 10 years.
