Dr. Brett Smith

I work with high school students preparing for college, college students, and high-achieving young adults navigating ADHD, anxiety, depression, giftedness, and perfectionism. My clients are often incredibly capable people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or like they're falling short of their own potential. Many have spent years working twice as hard as everyone else just to keep up. At Divergent Minds, I help them finally understand how their brain works and build a life that actually fits it.

I'm a Licensed Psychologist (Psy.D.) offering a neurodiversity-affirming approach — I don't treat your brain as a problem to fix. I help you understand it and build strategies that actually fit how you think. Drawing from Cognitive Behavioral, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and as someone with ADHD myself, I bring both expertise and lived experience.

You're not broken, you just haven't had the right support yet. Whether you're facing a big transition or ready to stop white-knuckling it, you deserve care from someone who genuinely gets it. Taking that first step can feel daunting, but it might be the most important one you take.
