I specialize with the symptoms of anxiety, depression, ADHD and high spectrum autism.

As an Asian American growing up overseas, I bring cultural considerations and my multicultural experiences into the therapy process.
Hello, my name is Tamra Smith. I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Sacramento, CA. I have over 20 years of experience in the field of Mental Health Services, especially providing therapy and consultation. My practice name is Path to Wellbeing Therapy Services, and I truly lead each person on a path to their own emotional health and wellbeing.
Finding the right mental health provider can feel overwhelming, especially when you're already struggling. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, trauma, or everyday stress, I want you to feel comfortable reaching out. As a bilingual psychiatric provider, I offer care in English and Spanish. I believe in listening without judgment, treating you as a person rather than a diagnosis, and working together to help you feel better. I offer appointments within 24 hours because your mental health shouldn't have to wait.
I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in El Segundo, California, offering both in-person and
online sessions. My practice centers on depression, codependency, and trauma and PTSD, and I bring a
warm, grounded presence to every session. I work with adults who feel stuck in patterns that once served
them but no longer do, whether in relationships, identity, or day to day coping. Many of my clients are
navigating big life transitions, including new parenthood, since I recently became a parent myself and
understand how much that can reshape a person's sense of self. My goal is to create a space where you
feel safe enough to slow down, understand yourself more deeply, and reconnect with what matters to you.
It is very hard to feel safe and grounded in this uncertain world. I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who uses humor and compassion when providing the support, understanding and empathy necessary to help you with your emotions . You may have experienced a sudden career transition , life change. or loss. I can help you master these unwelcome emotions that prevent you from living your best life. Our goal together will be to assist you in obtaining the personal insight, strength and skills to find peace.
