Getting to know Brian Smerdon

Hi, I’m Brian Smerdon, LMHC, and I’m here to navigate the twists and turns of mental health with you. Specializing in anxiety and stress management, I help you find calm in the chaos and a healthier mind. I have many years of experience working with all age groups in clinics, schools, and in-home sessions. I began my counseling career working with victims of trauma, substance abuse, PTSD, and sexual abuse. I specialize in depression, anxiety, grief and bereavement, and marriage and family therapy. I also work with geriatrics. My therapeutic philosophy is rooted in the belief that everyone has the potential to overcome their challenges and lead a fulfilling life. I approach each session with empathy, understanding, and a commitment to helping you achieve your goals. Whether you're dealing with life transitions, spiritual concerns, or the complexities of dementia, I'm here to support you every step of the way. I hold a Master's degree in Counseling and am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. My professional journey has equipped me with the skills and knowledge to address a wide range of mental health issues. From working in diverse settings such as clinics and schools to providing in-home sessions, I've gained a comprehensive understanding of the unique needs of different age groups and backgrounds. When you work with me, you can expect a safe, non-judgmental space where your concerns are heard and validated. I believe in a collaborative approach, where we work together to develop strategies that are tailored to your specific situation. My goal is to empower you to take control of your mental health and build a more resilient and balanced life. Outside of my professional life, I value the importance of self-care and mindfulness. I enjoy spending time outdoors, practicing meditation, and exploring new hobbies that bring joy and relaxation. These personal interests help me stay grounded and bring a holistic perspective to my therapeutic practice.
