"Empowering Your Mental Health Journey With Integrated Care"

Natasha Smithingell, Medication Management Admin

I have spent most of my adult life in the pharmacy field, but about four years ago, I transitioned into behavioral healthcare, and I absolutely love it. I hold degrees in pharmacy and health services administration, and I find it incredibly exciting to blend both areas in my current role. Every day presents a chance to learn something new, and the interactions I have with the amazing people I work with are some of the most rewarding experiences of my career. 

I am passionate about fostering a positive and uplifting environment in the workplace because I believe that a little beauty and positivity can significantly improve everyone's day. Music plays a big role in my life, and I enjoy exploring nearly every genre. I also have a deep appreciation for art, which I used to practice during my younger years. Although I may not be actively creating as much now, I continue to find inspiration in both music and visual art to keep my creativity flowing. 

My journey in healthcare is about more than just professional growth; it’s about making a meaningful impact in people's lives while staying curious, compassionate, and inspired.

"Our grandson has been visiting one of the wonderful counselors at GCS for the last three months, and we couldn’t be happier! It’s heartwarming to see his smile coming back, and he’s enjoying more happy days. Plus, he’s doing a great job managing his emotions. We’re so thankful our daughter discovered GCS for him!"
