Student Counselors

  • Harmony Smith

    I envision a world where every person is free to be their authentic selves, unapologetically and live an emotionally, mentally, physically, spiritually and financially healthy life while fulfilling their potential, whatever that looks like for them. Unfortunately, sometimes life gets in the way of that, and you deserve to have someone to support you in living and creating the life you want for yourself.

    My name is Harmony, and I am a graduate counseling student at Lamar University. I completed my undergraduate degree at The University of Texas at Austin, where I got this bright idea to change the world by supporting and empowering folks to live their best life through mental health counseling. I have worked with people across various ages, backgrounds, identities and life experiences. As a mother and partner, I believe that partnership and parenthood are two of the most special, important and emotionally difficult experiences in our lives. I am here to provide a safe space for you to process and work through the challenges that you are facing so you can start living your best life.

    It takes a lot of courage to reach out for support and I am so happy that you are here! Let’s journey together.
