Anchorage deserves mental health care that sees the whole person — not just the symptoms.
Dr. Bruce B. Smith brings clinical expertise and genuine warmth to every session. Whether you're navigating anxiety, life transitions, or simply seeking clarity, therapy here is collaborative, respectful, and tailored to you.
Services built around your needs
Every person who walks through my door is unique. These services are adapted to fit who you are, where you've been, and where you want to go.
Individual Therapy
One-on-one sessions in a safe, confidential space. We'll work together on anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem, and the challenges that make you feel stuck.
Couples Counseling
Strengthen communication, rebuild trust, and deepen understanding. Whether you're navigating conflict or simply want to reconnect, this is a space for both voices.
Psychological Assessments
Comprehensive evaluations for ADHD, learning differences, and other cognitive or emotional concerns. Clear, actionable results you can actually use.
Trauma-Informed Care
Healing from trauma requires patience, safety, and the right approach. I provide a grounded, non-judgmental space where you move at your own pace.
Training
A psychologist rooted in Alaska
Dr. Bruce B. Smith is a licensed psychologist based in Anchorage, Alaska. With a doctoral degree in psychology, he brings a depth of clinical training and a genuine commitment to the mental health of the community he serves.
His approach is collaborative and warm — he believes that meaningful change happens when clients feel truly heard and understood. Whether you're dealing with the pressures of Alaska's long winters, navigating a major life transition, or simply ready to feel more like yourself, Dr. Smith meets you where you are.
He practices from an office on Minnesota Drive in Anchorage, offering both in-person and accessible appointments for individuals and couples.
Therapy that fits your life
There's no one-size-fits-all in psychology — and I don't believe in it. My work draws from several evidence-based approaches, including cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, and humanistic perspectives, woven together in a way that serves you.
Some sessions look like gentle conversation. Others involve practical tools you can use outside the office. The common thread is that you're always the expert on your own experience — my job is to help you see it more clearly.
