Dr. Smith (she/they) is a board-certified psychiatrist with training from Dartmouth and the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the nation’s largest clinical research hospital. She brings a trauma-informed, affirming, and curious approach to care—one that respects your lived experience and centers your goals.

They’re deeply fascinated by the brain and passionate about helping you understand how yours works. With their scientific background and real-world clinical experience, Dr. Smith can demystify your diagnosis, explain how medications and lifestyle interventions work, and help you sort fact from fiction when it comes to online health information—so you can take charge of your mental health with confidence.

Dr. Smith specializes in working with LGBTQ+ people, young adults, and those navigating PTSD, OCD, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, psychosis, or complex medical conditions. She understands how identity, trauma, and systemic stressors can shape mental health—and she’s committed to creating a space where you don’t have to explain the basics of who you are.

Do you wonder:

– Why am I having trouble sleeping?

– How do I let go of intrusive thoughts?

– What does past trauma have to do with how I show up in relationships?

– Why is it so hard to get out of bed, even when I want to feel better?

Dr. Smith loves exploring these kinds of questions with patients—compassionately, collaboratively, and without judgment.
