Clinical Social Work Practice – Alturas Counseling
Alturas Counseling, LLC is a mental health practice based in Boise, Idaho, serving clients throughout the Treasure Valley region, including Garden City, Meridian, Eagle, Emmett, Kuna, Nampa, Caldwell, and Star. The practice is led by Christina Smith, LCSW, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with graduate-level clinical training and licensure in the state of Idaho.
Services include mental health therapy for individuals, couples, and families. Both in-person sessions at the Boise office and telehealth appointments are available to clients who prefer remote access to care. The practice accepts private pay, private insurance, and Medicaid, broadening access for clients across a range of financial circumstances and insurance situations. Scheduling is handled through SimplePractice, the practice management platform used by Alturas Counseling for appointment coordination and telehealth access. Clients experiencing illness symptoms are asked to provide advance notice so that alternative session formats can be discussed and arranged in a timely manner.
Office hours are Monday through Wednesday, 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., and Thursday, 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. The practice can be reached by phone at (208) 991-0225. Online appointment booking is available for both new and returning clients seeking individual, couples, or family therapy services.
The practice website features blog content addressing mental health topics including PTSD, depression, eating disorders, and recognizing when therapy may be a beneficial step. These topics reflect areas of clinical focus within the practice, though specific therapeutic modalities are not detailed on the homepage. Alturas Counseling is listed on Psychology Today as a verified mental health counseling provider serving the Boise area and surrounding communities in Southwest Idaho. Christina Smith’s acceptance of Medicaid alongside private insurance and private pay reflects a sustained commitment to financial accessibility across the Treasure Valley service area, which encompasses both urban Boise and outlying rural and suburban communities throughout the region.
