  • You Just Want to Feel Picked. Seen. Valued. Connected.

    Welcome to Mint Family Therapy

    Are you tired of feeling like you’re too much—or not enough—for the people around you?

    Maybe you’re stuck in the same arguments.
    Maybe you feel invisible in your own home.
    Maybe you’re scared that something is broken in you that can’t be fixed.

    Here’s the truth: you’re not broken. You’re human.
    And relationships don’t have to be this hard.

    I Help People Reconnect With Themselves and Each Other

    Hi, I’m Kevin B. Smith, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist.
    I help individuals, couples, and families move out of disconnection and into deeper trust, safety, and emotional clarity.

    My approach is different—it’s not just talk. It’s real tools, guided steps, and a deep relationship built around your healing.

    You won’t be left alone to figure it all out.

    Therapy That Feels Grounded—Not Clinical

    Using a method I developed called Relational Connecting Therapy (ReCT), I help you:

    • Understand the roots of your emotional patterns

    • Break cycles of fight, flight, or freeze

    • Learn how to communicate, set boundaries, and reconnect

    • Feel picked—by others and yourself

    Whether you’re just starting or have tried therapy before, this is a space where you’ll be met with warmth, honesty, and a clear path forward.

    About Kevin B. Smith, M.S., LCMFT, LMFT

    Before becoming a marriage and family therapist, I spent years immersed in the art world; working as a reproduction specialist and collaborating with galleries across the globe. That chapter of my life sharpened my creativity, my eye for detail, and my ability to bridge communication across cultures and perspectives. But more than anything, it gave me a deep respect for process, how meaning, like healing, is often built in layers.

    Now, as the founder of Relational Connecting Therapy (ReCT), I bring that same curiosity and commitment to the therapy room. I’ve spent years developing a systemic, emotionally grounded framework that helps individuals, couples, and families move through pain, disconnection, and relational stuckness with more clarity and confidence. Whether someone is navigating anxiety, communication breakdown, or generational trauma, I want them to feel seen, not just as a diagnosis, but as a whole person shaped by their story and their system.

    As a father of five, I’ve walked through adoption, divorce, blended family life, career reinvention, and the deeply human moments of feeling lost or inadequate. Life has humbled me, stretched me, and refined my understanding of what connection really means. I don’t have all the answers but I do believe in walking with people toward something better.

    I’m also a proud supporter of our military and the families who serve. As the father of a dedicated airman, I understand the sacrifices involved, and I offer discounts to veterans and military personnel as a token of my respect. Thank you for your service, and for the strength you carry every day.

    I’m currently working on a book that explores the core ideas behind Relational Connecting Therapy, with the hope of completing it in 2025. It’s a reflection of what I’ve learned through years of listening, sitting with pain, and believing that people are more than just their symptoms.

    You don’t have to do this alone. Therapy with me isn’t just about insight; it’s about building something new. Together.
