Meet Your Therapist
Hi, I’m Jake Smith.
I’m a licensed therapist who works with individuals and couples navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, and performance-related stress. My approach is compassionate, practical, and focused on helping you make progress—not just talk about problems.
I believe therapy works best when it feels both supportive and effective. That means creating a space where you feel understood, while also giving you tools and strategies you can actually use in your daily life.
My Approach
No two people are exactly the same, which is why therapy shouldn’t be one-size-fits-all.
I draw from evidence-based approaches such as:
-
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
-
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
-
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
-
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)
But more importantly, I focus on understanding you—your experiences, your goals, and what will actually help you move forward.
Together, we’ll work to:
-
Break unhelpful patterns
-
Improve emotional awareness and regulation
-
Strengthen relationships and communication
-
Build confidence and resilience
About Triumph Counseling Services
Triumph Counseling Services was established in June 2024 with a heartfelt commitment to walk alongside individuals and families through life’s most difficult seasons. We support clients navigating relationship challenges, as well as day-to-day struggles with depression, anxiety, trauma, and emotional overwhelm.
Founded by Jake Smith and his wife Debra, Triumph was born from both personal experience and a deep understanding of the importance of mental strength and emotional resilience. Jake’s own life journey—including significant formative experiences and service in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints—helped shape the vision behind Triumph. During his time learning Vietnamese in the Missionary Training Center, he was given the name Phạm Hoàng Khải, meaning “Triumphant Prince,” a symbol of rising above adversity. That idea of triumph through perseverance continues to inspire the heart of this practice.
At Triumph, we believe healing is not about becoming someone new, but about reconnecting with the strength, clarity, and courage that already exist within you. Life can bring heavy thoughts, intense emotions, and overwhelming challenges—but it also offers moments where change becomes possible. We define triumph not as perfection or winning in a traditional sense, but as the courage to show up, moment by moment, and choose growth, healing, and hope.
Our mission is to welcome people exactly as they are and support them in creating lasting emotional and mental change—tools and insights that can guide them forward through life’s obstacles and transitions. We strive to create a compassionate, safe, and grounded space where clients can explore, heal, and rebuild at their own pace.
Triumph represents fortitude, courage, compassion, emotional resilience, and confidence. It is a reminder that even in the most difficult seasons, growth is possible and no one has to walk the path alone.
We invite you to take the next step. If you’re ready to begin your journey toward healing, resilience, and renewed strength, we would be honored to walk alongside you. Reach out to Triumph Counseling Services today to schedule a consultation and begin your path forward.
