Kris Smetak, LCMHC

Biography

Greetings! My name is Kris Smetak. I have had the great honor of being a licensed therapist for over 15 years. I have always been in the “helping field” from an early age, thanks to my parents’ selfless acts of kindness, love, and compassion that they showed to everyone they met. They were amazing people but even better parents. Much of their parenting style is reflected in my counseling approach. I believe that YOU have the solutions and the answers to everything that you NEED and WANT.

What I have found in listening and validating others over the many years is that these solutions can be buried in: anxiety, stress, thoughts that “you are not good enough”, anger, frustration, thoughts that “there is something wrong”, resentment, sadness, and too many other things to list.

One of my favorite parts of counseling is building a strong therapeutic relationship built on unconditional positive regard and acceptance with all individuals that I serve and utilizing this relationship to climb mountains.

As your counselor I will always advocate for you and the healthiest, peaceful, and happiest version of you no matter what.

Call now to schedule the help that you deserve and begin your climb to greatness.

Kris Smetak is also proud to announce that he published his first book that is available on Amazon! In Anxiety Is Real, Kris draws on his experience as a therapist working with anxious and depressed individuals to answer the question, “Can I do anything about my anxiety?”
