Find a New Perspective When Life Feels Boxed In


Grief, career changes, divorce, loss, and major life transitions can leave us feeling stuck inside the same four walls of thinking, unsure how to move forward.

At 5th Corner Counseling, we help you find a new angle. A fifth corner. A place where clarity grows, burdens lighten, and new possibilities come into view.

Our Services

  • Line drawing of two people sitting and talking, one on a stool and one on a chair, against a light blue background.

    Individual Therapy for Adults

    Life looks different for everyone, and so does therapy. In individual sessions, we’ll take a closer look at what’s been weighing on you and find practical ways to bring things back into balance. Together, we’ll create a plan that fits you, not a one-size-fits-all approach.

    50–55 minutes | $150 Per Session | Some insurance accepted

  • Line drawing of two people sitting closely and holding hands on a light blue background.

    Couples Counseling

    Every relationship hits rough patches. Couples counseling gives you and your partner space to talk honestly, learn better ways to communicate, and work through conflict without losing connection. It’s about understanding each other again and finding a healthier way forward. Together.

    5th Corner Counseling is an LGBTQ+ affirming practice.

    50–55 minutes | $150 Per Session

About Jason Smithers, MA, LPC

Founder of 5th Corner Counseling

Life can get heavy sometimes. Whether it’s a career change, a divorce, a loss, or just feeling stuck, it’s easy to lose your sense of direction. I help adults sort through the noise, find clarity, and take steady steps forward.

My style is down-to-earth and practical. Therapy with me isn’t about labels or quick fixes. Our sessions are about honest conversation, useful tools, and finding what actually works for you. Together, we’ll figure out what’s getting in the way and build a plan to help you feel more grounded and confident.

I’ve spent over 20 years helping people navigate change, both in leadership and counseling roles. As a Licensed Professional Counselor and author of Unfinished: A Guide to Dream, Complete, and Repeat Your Life’s Work, I bring real-life experience to the work we do together.

UNFINISHED

As children, our passions came easy. We would doodle for hours and hours and we didn't know what the word 'editing' meant. As we got older, our passions were pushed aside for the busyness of life, for the fear of failure, for poor excuses. Unfinished, is a book for hopeful creative's to reclaim their passions; to Dream, Complete and Repeat Their Life's Work even when life gets busy and the excuses to NOT complete projects are endless.
