Alexis Smith, PA-C
Physician Assistant
Troy
NCCPA Board-Certified Physician Assistant (PA-C) specializing in person-focused, integrative mental health care.
Meet Your Clinician. Understand Your Care.
As an NCCPA Board-Certified Physician Assistant (PA-C), I specialize in compassionate, person-focused mental health care, with a particular interest in integrative mental health and wellness, reproductive and perinatal mental health, mental health support for parents, and long-term wellness and lifestyle-based approaches to care. Additional specialties include ADHD, anxiety, depression and mood disorders, eating disorders, developmental issues, OCD, and trauma.
No matter what you’re facing, I’m dedicated to building safe, collaborative relationships, ensuring you have the support you need to improve mental well-being. I work with you to consider lifestyle, physical health, relationships, and other factors that can support meaningful and sustainable improvements in your overall wellness.
To achieve these goals, I focus on medication management with a growing expertise in advanced neuromodulation techniques for treatment-resistant conditions, including Spravato, ketamine therapy, and TMS. I also take an integrative approach to care, recognizing that long-term mental wellness is influenced by more than medication alone.
I believe mental health care should be personalized to you, not limited to one approach. My goal is to understand the whole person and work together to find strategies that support both your mental health and overall well-being. I look forward to partnering with you as we work together toward feeling your best and building lasting mental well-being.
The Experience Behind Your Care
My background includes earning a Bachelor of Science from Michigan State University and a Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies from Wayne State University. Over the course of my 10-year career, I’ve practiced in pediatric emergency medicine, behavioral health, and psychiatry. In my practice now, I put this experience and perspectives to work for you, so you don’t have to face mental health struggles alone. Reach out today for an appointment and take the next step in your journey toward the life you want and deserve.
A Few Words from Alexis
“I see a lot of patients with complicated medication histories – multiple failed trials, several comorbid conditions, and feeling like nothing will ever work. The individualized attention we provide at Advanced Psychiatry has led to real improvements in stability that patients hadn’t experienced before.”
