Brian Smerdon
I have worked with adults, children and families for 30 years as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I received my degree from Barry University. In the past, I also worked with young children through to adolescents as an educator. My strengths are in helping my clients to identify the key issues affecting them and in developing a path toward addressing these matters. I find working as a psychotherapist very rewarding because I can help people in such a meaningful way.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
I recommend clients consider the first session as an interview. I encourage clients to share what is bringing them here and provide some relevant background. As we talk, the client will determine if my style and perspectives fit his/her/their needs. Together we will determine a tentative therapeutic plan.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My greatest strengths as a provider are to provide a "mirror" to help my clients see their issues with clarity. I often find people are too enmeshed in their situations to actually see the bigger dynamics and I am able to help them step back and gain perspective. Another strength is providing clients with a clear action plan for shifting to healthier ways to cope with their situations. I am strong in identifying the emotional, social, and environmental issues my clients are coping with and helping them develop a path toward resolution.
