Dr. Smith is phenomenal in helping people with multiple different diagnoses. For instance- in my…read moresituation, I have had multiple serious medical conditions that have made my life very hard. I also suffer from ADHD, and PTSD from childhood abuse. I have tried therapy multiple times and made no real progress. Perhaps one could argue that I wasn't ready. I would argue that I was ready but desperately needed a "safe place". He has given me that. He shows great empathy and his intuition constantly amazes me. Imagine being so close with someone that they already know your thoughts and your pain? This is NOT the psychic friends network! Because of Dr. Smith's due diligence (gathering case documents from my Neurologist, PCP, Hematologist, & other professionals) on my unique case he was able to avoid wasted time in the very beginning. Currently I have been seeing Dr. Smith for over two years and my progress has been nothing short of of amazing. He took on someone with multiple issues and due to his patience and willingness to wait until I was ready to open up and tell everything, he has literally saved my heart. When I came to him I was so broken, hurt, and in incredible pain. Today, I able to see things how the truly are and move forward with a healthy life. I never dreamed I could be in such a healthy, safe, and self progressive state. I would recommend him for abused women in particular. His insight, and the tools he has provided me have been so substantial that I honestly do not feel that I will not regress to that deep cold place that reminds me of the ugliness. If I am taken there with certain triggers, I now know exactly what do to. Aka...Mask of the Doctors wife...(married to another physician, who often wore a mask of happiness to avoid pain and shame). Also a shameless plug for my upcoming book! Did I say he was good? No longer wearing the mask!
