“I am excited to join Wayne Pediatrics’ efforts to provide quality integrated behavioral health care to children and families in Detroit,” said Dr. Smith. “I am inspired by the resilience of our families. When they show up to find hope, I look forward to joining them on their journey. My goal is to reduce the mental health barriers that we know many families in Detroit have when they need psychological help. Our work to improve health outcomes, quality of life and bring hope to the people of Detroit gives me great energy and purpose.”
dr. Smith is a Detroiter who received her doctorate and master’s degree in school psychology from Michigan State University, and a master’s degree in clinical psychology from Houston Baptist University. Her bachelor’s degree in economics was obtained from the University of Michigan.
