Candia Smith, DMH

Specialties

We specialize in brain optimization, Peak Performance training and treatment for those that have had therapy and been disappointed. I offer cutting edge techniques in a time and cost effective manner. Specifically I use EMDR and neurofeedback. These techniques can be effective for trauma, headaches, head injury, depression, anxiety and many other conditions. I have extensive experience as a psychodynamic therapist and the combination of old techniques and new can turn around things you thought you were stuck with.

History

Established in 1998.

After training at UCSF in the department of psychiatry I worked for 13 years as Clinical Director of the Center for Occupational Psychiatry. In 1998 I decided to go into private practice in the peaceful community of Orinda. Last year my fondest hopes were achieved when Peet’s coffee moved into the space under my practice. All is good. Now I direct the Advanced THerapy Center training other clinicians.
