Bert Smith (He/Him), Graduate Intern Therapist
Heart Body Mind Psychological & Assessment Services
Starting September 2026!
Hi! My name is Bert (he/him) and I cannot wait to meet you! I am grounded, down-to-earth therapist who is fairly nerdy and happy to support all people on their journeys. I am neurodivergent, queer, and believe I will be great fit for anyone who can relate!
If you are experiencing major life transitions from teen-hood to adulthood, I am happy to support you as you navigate the struggles.Queer or questioning? Let’s talk about it! Experiencing addictions, or not even sure where to start? I am here for you. As a neurodivergent person myself, I am happy to support folx who are too! I understand what it is like to have depression, anxiety, and trauma all take the driver’s seat in life, and would love to support you take the power back so that you can be the one driving, not these experiences.
I take an integrative, team-approach to counselling, which means you an I can work together to come up with a plan that best suits you! I have years of experience working as an addictions counsellor, and I draw from many therapy modalities. Some of my favourites that I have received training in are Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotion-Focused Therapies (EFT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT). I have completed a two-day training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Depression and Anxiety Disorders so you might hear me referencing ACT a lot! If you see all these terms and scratch your head, have no fear! I can tell you about them!

Personal Interests
I am an outgoing, tattoo having and loving, nerd-at-heart individual. I am and avid boxer, collect and play trading card games, love video games & board games, and am perhaps too into Lord of the Rings. Otherwise, I love all things film, traveling to the mountains where I grew up, and really try to bring a relaxed vibe into everything I do.
