Brenda Smith is a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with Lifestance. I’ve read reviews about how hard it is to get in contact with your provider, but I’ve never had an issue reaching Brenda. The ease of scheduling is on par with other offices, the office staff themselves are quick, knowledgeable, compassionate and friendly. Talking to Brenda is like talking to an old friend, who has an answer or suggestions to help every time I come needing guidance.. There’s such a relaxed atmosphere I instantly felt calmer, just walking into her office. Even if there is a wait for an appointment, make sure to get on the cancellation list and they will call to get you in if someone else cancels. I’ve had quite a few of these doctors/nurses and she by far is my favorite. I feel listened to and seen.

Dr Smith is greatly interested in understanding me and listening to me so than I can listen to her always wonderful advice! Outstanding!
I was so nervous leading up to my appointment I was close to canceling it the night before! I had never seen a psychiatrist or made an appointment like this before so I wasn’t sure what to expect but I’m so glad that I went and met Brenda. She made me feel so comfortable and so heard! I walked out of her office feeling so much better and with a plan!
Brenda Smith is the best doctor that I have gone to in my life that as I can remember. She is very thorough and honest with me and that's what I want and especially she is a female and I feel more comfortable talking to a female than a male.
Amazing place, clean and comforting interior, the staff is great! I work with Brenda Smith and Kristen Dhal and they’ve both been an amazing help for me!
