Getting to know Brandy Smith

I am an independently Licensed Clinical Social Worker with six years of direct patient experience treating individuals experiencing mental health struggles. I earned my Master's in Social Work from the University of Southern California and hold a Bachelor's degree from Marywood University. As a veteran of the armed forces, I bring a unique understanding to my clinical work, which has been focused within busy Emergency Rooms, ICUs, general medical units, and directly with veterans and active duty military. I look forward to meeting with you and assisting you in overcoming the challenges you are facing.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Clients who benefit most from my style are those who are motivated to work towards change and who are open to the process of therapy.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
