Great to meet you!

I’m Dr. Marc Smith, a board-certified psychiatrist with extensive experience in treating a wide range of mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety, PTSD, and other complex challenges. I completed my medical training at Columbia University and my residency at the University of Southern California (USC). At my practice, I provide comprehensive psychiatric medication management and innovative treatment options tailored to those who have not found success with traditional approaches.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My approach to mental health care is holistic and personalized, focusing on understanding each individual’s unique experiences and needs. I believe in treating the whole person, not just a diagnosis, and I take the time to ensure my patients feel truly seen and heard. Together, we create a tailored plan to promote healing, personal growth, and long-term well-being in a compassionate, non-judgmental space.

What you can expect from our first session

Clients can expect practical tools, deeper self-awareness, and a clear path forward in their mental health journey. Sessions focus on identifying underlying challenges, exploring solutions, and building resilience. My goal is to empower clients with insights and strategies that foster meaningful growth and lasting change.
