Ana Carla Smith
(She/Her/Hers)
Psychiatrist
The best of mental healthcare in one place. At Geode, we combine full-spectrum psychiatry and talk therapy to better meet changing patient needs.
I am a friendly, open-minded and nurturing psychiatrist, who has been board certified in General Psychiatry as well as Child and Adolescent Psychiatry for 10+ years. I enjoy learning about my patients and believe that the doctor/patient relationship is a partnership—you are an integral member of your treatment team. I will work with you (and your family if appropriate) to discover and define your mental health goals and develop a plan to help you reach them. I provide comprehensive evaluations, pharmacotherapy, and psychotherapy, and have extensive experience treating people ages 4-64+ with depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, eating disorders, anxiety, panic, OCD, PTSD, and psychotic disorders.
