Welcome to the Practice of Samuel D. Smithyman, PhD

Clinical Psychologist in Greenville, SC

With decades of experience in clinical psychology, military service, teaching, and wellness leadership, I bring a deeply informed, compassionate, and results-oriented approach to mental health care. My journey began in Spartanburg, South Carolina, and led through academic and professional roles across the country—from studying English Literature at Clemson and Rice to earning my Doctorate in Psychology from Claremont Graduate University in California.

Along the way, I served as a Captain in the U.S. Air Force, specializing in psychological services for military personnel, and gained extensive training in group therapy, race relations, and substance abuse recovery. After building a successful private practice and corporate wellness company in California, I returned to South Carolina, where I now serve individuals, couples, families, and organizations through clinical psychotherapy and expert psychological evaluation.

Whether you’re seeking support, healing, or personal growth, I’m here to help you navigate life’s challenges with evidence-based care tailored to your needs.
