Jeremy Force-Smith, Therapist

Jeremy Force-Smith, LCSW, is dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with compassionate, evidence-based mental health care. Practicing at LifeStance Health in Michigan, he provides individual therapy to children, adolescents, adults, and seniors. Jeremy specializes in treating anxiety, depression, grief, and PTSD/trauma, empowering his clients to develop resilience and regain a sense of stability. By creating a safe and supportive space, he helps individuals process their experiences, manage distress, and work toward meaningful change. Jeremy is particularly passionate about working with individuals who have experienced trauma and grief. Whether helping someone cope with the loss of a loved one or guiding a client through the long-term impact of PTSD, he takes a trauma-informed approach tailored to each person’s unique journey. His work with foster and adoptive individuals also reflects his deep understanding of attachment, identity, and the emotional complexities of transitions. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Jeremy helps clients reframe negative thought patterns, develop effective coping strategies, and build confidence in their ability to heal. In addition to his clinical work, Jeremy is committed to serving diverse communities, including individuals with adoption or foster care backgrounds. He strives to create an inclusive and affirming environment for all clients, recognizing the importance of identity, belonging, and personal growth in mental health treatment. His approach is rooted in empathy, advocacy, and a belief in each person’s capacity for transformation. Outside of his practice, Jeremy enjoys immersing himself in both fiction and non-fiction literature, with a particular passion for fantasy and horror novels. He also explores philosophy and psychology texts to deepen his understanding of human thought and behavior. In his free time, he enjoys video games, puzzles, sudoku, and origami—activities that fuel his creativity and strategic thinking. Currently learning Spanish, he is eager to expand his language skills and cultural awareness. A passionate advocate for social justice, Jeremy is dedicated to promoting equality and human rights, particularly for marginalized populations.
