Adam Smithey

Adam R Smithey, PhD, LMFT is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, AAMFT Approved Supervisor, and Indiana’s first Certified Gottman Therapist.

Since 2004 Dr. Adam has devoted his professional life to helping couples and families and now has a thriving private practice in Indiana where he specializes in building, maintaining, and repairing all relationships. His practice is built on his expertise in marathon counseling, where couples complete 6+ months of traditional therapy in as little as two days. For more than a decade he and his wife have also been involved in various local non-profit efforts, mainly focusing on child sexual abuse prevention and education.

Dr. Adam has nearly 20 years of experience as a therapist, consultant, educator, and speaker; and has presented to local, state, and national conferences. He has been a Certified Gottman Therapist, Trainer, and Workshop Leader since 2016 and regularly presents the “Art & Science of Love” couples workshop and the Gottman Level 1 clinical training to couples and professionals from around the globe. Additionally, he is also one of very few workshop leaders approved to present the “Art & Science of Love 2: Advanced Workshop for Couples.”

With what seems like some wonderful accomplishments, since 2012 he is most proud of his hard-earned title of Stay-at-Home-Dad to his three often-wonderful-sometimes-not children.

Often found in flannel and jeans, as a public speaker, audience members agree that Dr. Adam is authentic, relatable, curious, warm, energetic, and deeply passionate about helping improve relationships. He is able to connect to a variety of audiences and presents complex material in an easy to digest way. His primary goal in his presentations is to empower and leave audience members with a sense of realistic optimism – the “I can do this” mentality.

Dr. Adam truly believes that together, we can change the world: one relationship at a time.
