Brian Smerdon, LMHC

I am an experienced Mental Health Counselor specializing in depression, stress, anxiety, PTSD, mental health and wellbeing.

I’m a therapist who blends clinical precision with deep empathy. My work is grounded in culturally responsive care, structured support, and a commitment to emotional safety. Clients often describe me as warm, thoughtful, and attuned—someone who brings clarity without judgment and honors complexity with compassion.
My practice offers a space where older adults, individuals, and families can explore life’s transitions, relational dynamics, and personal growth. Whether you're navigating grief, identity shifts, emotional distance, or simply seeking a place to reflect, I provide therapy that is paced with dignity and tailored to your story.
What I offer:
• Client-Centered Therapy: You lead the way. I bring structure and insight, but our work is collaborative and guided by your values.
• Culturally Attuned Support: I honor the layers of identity, background, and lived experience that shape your emotional world.
• Structured & Actionable Care: From progress notes to treatment plans, I ensure our work is clear, focused, and meaningful.
• Relational Depth: I specialize in helping clients navigate emotional distance, repair
Creative Tools When Invited: For those interested, I offer expressive strategies like narrative work or legacy projects to deepen reflection.
