Please call Jamie today at (205) 329-7815 to make an appointment to see Margaret Smith, Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Diplomate in Clinical Social Work.

Margaret Bowron Smith is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. She has had over 30 years of experience in the field of mental health, having practiced in both public and private settings.  Currently she maintains a private practice, seeing office patients as well as providing consultations and therapy to patients in the hospital setting.

Mrs. Smith specializes in working with adults experiencing acute as well as chronic illnesses. She also assists family members in coping with the impact of the patient’s illness. A part of this process often includes helping the family as a unit to identify needs, develop plans and goals, and utilize appropriate resources.  She has a special interest in working with geriatric patients (older adults age 65+) and provides geriatric care management services for these patients and their families. 

Currently, Mrs. Smith is serving as the facilitator of the Lakeshore Fibromyalgia Support Group. This group is open to persons with fibromyalgia or other medical issues involving chronic pain. Because Mrs. Smith is personally affected by fibromyalgia, she is able to provide insights about the illness from both a personal as well as professional point of view.
