Welcome to Smith Counseling Services
I’m Richard Smith, a Licensed Professional Counselor. I help individuals and couples who are looking to better understand themselves and make meaningful shifts in their lives. In therapy, we’ll work together to untangle the stress and pressures of daily life, creating space for clarity, confidence, and emotional balance.

My Therapeutic Approach
My approach is rooted in authenticity and respect. In our sessions, you can expect a calm and supportive environment where you can explore your thoughts, choices, and emotions freely. We will look at patterns that no longer serve you and create new ways of responding that bring balance and confidence.
As a Black man, I understand the cultural and social pressures that can make it difficult for anyone to seek help. However, I strive to offer a space where you can speak openly, reconnect with your strengths, and feel truly seen and understood. Therapy is not about changing who you are but about rediscovering what makes you whole.
Why Therapy Matters
Therapy is an act of courage. It is a chance to better understand yourself, release what no longer serves you, and learn practical tools for emotional balance. Whether you are dealing with ADHD, anxiety, or the stress of daily life, therapy can help you build a more focused and peaceful mindset.
What to Expect
In each session, you can expect empathy, curiosity, and collaboration. We will define your goals together and move at a pace that feels right for you. Over time, you may notice more focus, steadier emotions, and a greater sense of control in your life.
