Dr. Ashley Smith Email & Phone Number

I'm Ashley Smith, a Licensed Clinical Psychologist, speaker, author, co-founder of Peak Mind, and a self-proclaimed quester of happiness.I have spent more than 20 years specializing in the treatment of anxiety and obsessive compulsive spectrum disorders using an evidence-based treatment called Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I've dedicated my career to helping people understand how their brains work and teaching them effective strategies for managing anxiety and depression, and, ultimately leading meaningful and happy lives. (A nice side effect of my day job is that I have stellar coping skills, which I use on a daily basis!)I have a rare degenerative retinal disease that makes me legally and increasingly blind. Despite vision loss, I have actively pursued happiness by carving out a life full of strong connections, high ambitions, and enriching experiences.I am passionate about sharing the principles and practices of CBT, applied neuroscience, and positive psychology beyond the walls of my office. While stress and heartache are unavoidable parts of life, I wholeheartedly believe that we always have some choice and some control over things that can maximize our happiness...MINDSET MATTERS! That's why I co-founded Peak Mind: The Center for Psychological Strength, dedicated to making the knowledge and tools from the fields of psychology and life design widely accessible. We create and deliver engaging and effective in person, virtual, and digital training experiences designed to help forward-thinking organizations and their people build the science-backed skills they need to thrive at and outside the office.
