This is one of the best places that I have ever been to and I have a great psychiatrist who listens and understands what I'm going through and if it wasn't for her I don't know where I would be right now I have suffered a lot of loss and my life was turned upside down but talking to my doctor has given me a new outlook and Hope on life and I thank her very much she's a very great person and takes the time and really understands what I'm going through and she is very genuinely concerned and I'm very grateful to have found her she's definitely changed my life. Thank you Dr. Brenda you are definitely a blessing in my life and I don't know if I would have made it through all of the loss and pain that I have endured without you because you have shown me that I can get through it as long as I'm willing to accept help. So once again thank you very much and I am grateful to have found such a great place and a wonderful person that understands what I am going through. May God bless you every second of every day. You're an angel here on earth. 🙏🙏🙏

Brenda Smith is a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with Lifestance. I’ve read reviews about how hard it is to get in contact with your provider, but I’ve never had an issue reaching Brenda. The ease of scheduling is on par with other offices, the office staff themselves are quick, knowledgeable, compassionate and friendly. Talking to Brenda is like talking to an old friend, who has an answer or suggestions to help every time I come needing guidance.. There’s such a relaxed atmosphere I instantly felt calmer, just walking into her office. Even if there is a wait for an appointment, make sure to get on the cancellation list and they will call to get you in if someone else cancels. I’ve had quite a few of these doctors/nurses and she by far is my favorite. I feel listened to and seen.

Absolutely the best Dr I've ever had. She's kind, friendly. Understanding and willing to help you and not just dismiss you and your concerns. She's easily available through the patient portal and for me that's a huge plus because I'm sick a lot and can't always make my visits so video visits save me a lot. I also took a gene sight test which I maybe spelling wrong but it told her the meds that would help and what wouldn't and it really worked out for me. And the practice itself works with me because I don't have insurance and they let me make payments. Best place to go for real help

Brenda Smith is an excellent medical professional, easy to understand and deal with, very empathetic. The office is well run and friendly and does a better than average job at communicating with patients and keeping accurate records. Easy positive recommendation. And further exposure to the office only increases my opinion of the entire staff. BUT: Brenda is a jewel, and if you get a chance to work with her, you have been very fortunate!

It was very helpful experience my doctor is great at making me feel comfortable and good at figuring out what I need and what I need to do. I've came a long way from where I was in a deep hole of depression and anxiety, with in a half of year I'm total different person than I was I'm much happier and my life is much fulfilling. I'm very grateful for what my doctor Dr.Brenda Smith has done for me!

Brenda is the best. She listens and she cares and she wants to help. She’s been there for me and has helped me turn things around and I really appreciate that the experience there is not like seeing some normal doctor. It’s seeing somebody that’s easy to talk to and communicate with and understand and truly cares. She really wants to help people not just someone that’s there.
