Glenna Smith, MD, is a board-certified adult psychiatrist and board-certified child and adolescent psychiatrist at Adelpha Psychiatric Group in Encino, California.
She has long been devoted to a career working with children and families and it was with this goal in mind that she pursued her undergraduate degree in Psychology at Columbia University, followed by medical school at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia. Subsequently, Dr. Smith completed residency in adult psychiatry at the University of Pennsylvania before moving to Los Angeles to complete advanced fellowship training in child and adolescent psychiatry at UCLA. While there she served as chief fellow of the child and adolescent psychiatric inpatient unit and the resident psychotherapy clinic. After fellowship, she stayed on at UCLA as an associate physician at the UCLA Child and Adolescent Mood Disorders Clinic (CHAMP).
Dr. Smith uses a developmental lens to provide thorough, empathic, and individualized care for patients and families. Her style is marked by warmth, curiosity, and collaboration. She is experienced in treating the full spectrum of psychiatric and mental health disorders across the lifespan and has specialized training in the diagnosis and treatment of mood disorders, anxiety disorders, eating disorders, neurodevelopmental disorders, and beyond. She has a particular interest and expertise in working with adolescents, transitional age youth, and young adults, supporting their unique needs as they navigate critical developmental transitions.
Her therapeutic approach draws heavily on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, and family systems work.
Outside of work, Dr. Smith can be found on adventures with her family, including her rescue dachshund, Ruby, who greets patients nervously when they come into the office.
