John Smolenski

I’m a fully licensed therapist with over 12 years of experience, and I believe therapy works best when it feels like a safe, supportive partnership. In our first sessions, we’ll take things at your pace and focus on building a strong, genuine connection. My approach is client-centered and strength-based, using tools like ACT, CBT, mindfulness, and coaching to help you navigate stress, anxiety, depression, and health challenges. What makes my practice unique is my experience supporting both college students and working professionals who are dealing with stress, fatigue, burnout, perfectionism, anxiety, depression, and chronic pain or health conditions. I strive to make therapy approachable — whether it’s your first time or you’re returning after a break — with the goal of helping you feel seen, supported, and empowered to move forward with clarity and resilience.
