Q: Who is this “Iron Shrink?”

Once rumored to be a professional wrestler who earned a string of submissions through endless behavior analysis, the Iron Shrink is actually Shawn Smith, a licensed psychologist in private practice in Denver, Colorado. He specializes in the treatment of depression, anxiety, and relationship problems, and he is available for free consultations. You can reach him via his website, mesapsych.com.

Shawn is the author of the forthcoming book, The User’s Guide to the Human Mind due out in November, 2011, thanks to the wonderful people at New Harbinger Publications. He is also author of the violence-prevention book, Surviving Aggressive People. His books have all the charm and class of this website, but with the added benefits of an editor and a goal.
