Evaluators & Clinicians

 Licensed Master Social Worker in Maryland, DC, and Virginia

Certified Positive Discipline Parent Educator

Euphia Hsu-Smith draws from evidence-based approaches including CBT, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), and Positive Discipline to help families build skills and emotional connection at the same time. She works with children, teens, and families navigating ADHD, anxiety, grief, emotional regulation, and family changes. She helps kids and adolescents who may struggle with focus, motivation, big emotions, or school stress—and supports caregivers who feel overwhelmed or stuck in frustrating patterns at home.

Her practice is trauma-informed, grounded in the understanding that

experiences like divorce, identity shifts, ongoing stress, or the loss of a stable caregiver can impact attention, behavior, and emotional regulation. 

Euphia specializes in supporting children and teens who may appear fine on the outside but feel anxious, angry, or dysregulated underneath. This includes those who are emotionally sensitive, perfectionistic, or trying hard to hold it all together—even as they struggle with executive functioning or self-esteem.

Euphia partners closely with parents to strengthen the parent-child relationship,reduce shame and blame, and create more effective, connected family Dynamics. She also brings a deep understanding of the many stressors families face—from medical concerns to caregiving demands to the constant mentalload of parenting.

This perspective allows her to meet clients with compassion

and realism, especially when life feels overwhelming and emotionally charged at home.
