MD K. Whitney Smith, MD
Specialties: Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, Substance Use, Life Transitions,

Introduction

My goal is to create warm, responsive, and practical talk-therapy relationships with patients. I use psychodynamic theory—the close examination of patterns and behaviors with an intent to gain insight into self, alleviate distress, and help people lead more meaningful lives. I prescribe medications on a thoughtful, case-by-case basis, with the goal of treating symptoms while minimizing side effects. I have experience working with older adolescents and adults. I focus on anxiety, depression, substance abuse, life transitions, relationship struggles, and work-related issues. My practice is primarily focused on talk therapy but, under the right circumstances, I am also able to provide medication-only services.
