Mecca Hurst-Smart

Hi, I’m Mecca. I’m so glad you’re here. I’m a therapist at Bloom and a genuine believer that healing doesn’t have to be heavy all the time. Therapy with me includes real talk, a little laughter, and a focus on what actually works for you. Whether you’re a parent seeking support for your teen, a college student navigating the chaos of adulthood, or a young adult figuring out your next chapter; I’m here for it. And for you. My approach is trauma informed, inclusive and rooted in cultural responsiveness. I specialize in empowering teens and young adults as they navigate anxiety, depression, self-esteem, identity, relationships, and all the in-between moments that come with growing up. I have a special passion for supporting 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals in building resilience, confidence, and connection. I often use mindfulness-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and narrative practices to help clients better understand their thoughts, manage emotions, and move through life with more ease. In addition to my work at Bloom, my career as a social worker has been anchored in nonprofit and community spaces where I’ve supported people from all walks of life. That work has shaped my deep respect for the ways people show up and keep going even on the hard days. Therapy with me is compassionate, inclusive and yes, sometimes even a little bit fun. Let’s figure it out together, one session at a time.
