A Little About Me
My name is Craig Smardan.
I earned my master’s degree in clinical psychology in 1994 and have been a licensed psychotherapist since 1997. I am also a member of the California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists (CAMFT).
Over the course of my therapy career, I have worked with clients from diverse backgrounds and throughout many different stages of life. I have also treated a wide variety of problems and concerns. These include addiction, depression, anxiety, cancer and end of life matters, LGBTQ+ issues, life transitions, as well as many others. This clinical experience enhances my ability to help clients with wide-ranging challenges and to meet the unique needs of each person I work with.
Healing begins when we embrace the journey,
with compassion as our guide.
