Kaci Smith LMFT

Kaci Smith, LMFT, is a licensed psychotherapist with a prior specialization in infant and child mental health. After welcoming her first son, a late talker, during California's shelter-in-place order in the COVID-19 pandemic, Kaci shifted her professional focus to supporting women and mothers. She now runs a virtual women's therapy private practice in California. As the proud mother of a gifted late talker and a gifted early talker, Kaci has gained unique insight into the different developmental paths of her two children. This experience has inspired her to pursue an additional clinical specialization in the misdiagnosis and dual diagnoses of gifted children and adults. Her personal journey parenting a Gestalt Language Processor (GLP) led her to create tools that empower parents, caregivers, and professionals to support speech-delayed children. By blending her professional expertise with lived experiences, Kaci writes heartwarming, functional nursery rhymes designed to build meaningful communication and strengthen connections between children and their families. When she’s not writing or working as a therapist, Kaci enjoys spending time with her husband and sons, engaging in creative projects, and exploring the world through her children’s eyes.
