Dedric Smith Athletics Counselor


Baton Rouge, Louisiana 70809 United States

About

I just wanted to make it to the big stage. The constant wondering of what will happen if I don’t turn out to be this amazing athlete that I was told I was so destined to be. No one told me it would be this hard. All I ever heard was "you can do anything you put your mind to." What does that even mean? Well, that didn't work out for me, or at least I had a perplexed understanding of this perspective. Why jump off the porch if a stable way down can be offered. Let’s work together to Keep UP the Score.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I invite you to consider my services as a clinician who can empathize with your unique situation and conduct assessments tailored to your specific needs, objectives, and goals centered on sport and life balance.

I extend an invitation for you to explore my services as a clinician and former athlete. Thoughts of “making it” is what kept me motivated. I fell short of this accomplishment. As an expert of Mental Health, I now realize even if I had “made it” as a professional athlete challenge will persist beyond the achievement of my goals. Why? Let’s talk about it.
