Dr. Daniel Smith, MD

Board-Certified Psychiatrist

Dr. Daniel Smith, MD is a Board-Certified Psychiatrist at Reno Mental Health & TMS in Reno, Nevada, specializing in Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) therapy for PTSD, Depression, Chronic Pain. Daniel is dedicated to providing patients in the Washoe County with access to advanced, FDA-cleared brain stimulation treatments that offer a proven alternative when traditional medications fall short. Daniel completed medical training at UCLA David Geffen School of Medicine, one of the nation's leading programs in psychiatry and neuroscience. This rigorous academic foundation provided deep expertise in neuroanatomy, psychopharmacology, and the biological mechanisms underlying mood disorders — knowledge that directly informs the precision of TMS treatment delivery. With over 35 years of dedicated practice in psychiatry and neuromodulation, Dr. Daniel Smith, MD has treated hundreds of patients using TMS therapy at Reno Mental Health & TMS and previous clinical appointments. This extensive hands-on experience translates into refined clinical judgment — the ability to recognize subtle treatment responses, adjust protocols in real time, and guide patients through the full course of therapy with confidence. Daniel's clinical philosophy centers on evidence-based decision-making paired with empathetic patient care. Every TMS protocol at Reno Mental Health & TMS is informed by current peer-reviewed research, and Daniel maintains an active interest in emerging neuromodulation studies to ensure patients benefit from the most advanced treatment strategies available. Daniel's clinical focus at Reno Mental Health & TMS includes specialized expertise in PTSD, Depression, Chronic Pain. TMS for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder works by rebalancing the hyperactive threat-detection circuits in the brain. Stimulation of the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex has shown promise in reducing intrusive memories, emotional numbness, and hyperarousal symptoms. For patients whose trauma symptoms have not responded to therapy or medication alone, TMS offers a targeted neurobiological intervention. In treating depression with TMS, the focus is on stimulating the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), a brain region consistently found to be underactive in patients with major depressive disorder. By restoring normal activity in this region, TMS helps re-engage the neural circuits responsible for mood regulation, motivation, and cognitive function. Clinical trials demonstrate remission rates of 50-60% in treatment-resistant cases. At Reno Mental Health & TMS, Daniel works with BrainsWay, Nexstim, CloudTMS — giving patients access to multiple FDA-cleared TMS platforms. This multi-device capability allows for protocol selection tailored to each patient's specific diagnosis and treatment targets. Daniel stays current with evolving treatment protocols, including standard repetitive TMS, theta burst stimulation, and accelerated treatment schedules where appropriate. Patients at Reno Mental Health & TMS describe Daniel as thorough, compassionate, and genuinely invested in their recovery. The treatment experience begins with a comprehensive initial evaluation, during which Daniel takes time to understand not just the clinical diagnosis, but the personal impact of the condition on daily life. This patient-centered approach continues throughout the full course of TMS treatment, with regular check-ins to monitor progress and adjust the treatment plan as needed. If you're considering TMS therapy in Reno, Nevada, Dr. Daniel Smith, MD and the team at Reno Mental Health & TMS offer comprehensive evaluations to determine whether this treatment approach is right for you. Reach out to schedule an initial consultation and take the first step toward a medication-free path to recovery.

Elizabeth is dedicated to providing patients in the Washoe County with access to advanced, FDA-cleared brain stimulation treatments that offer a proven alternative when traditional medications fall short. After earning a medical degree from Duke University, Elizabeth pursued specialized training in psychiatry with a focus on interventional and neuromodulation techniques. This academic background, combined with extensive clinical rotations in treatment-resistant cases, built the foundation for a career dedicated to advancing brain stimulation therapy. Dr. Elizabeth Garcia, MD brings 17+ years of psychiatric practice to Reno TMS Center, with a significant portion of that career focused specifically on brain stimulation therapies. This depth of experience means patients benefit from a clinician who has navigated every common scenario in TMS treatment — from optimizing coil placement to managing treatment-resistant cases that require creative protocol adjustments. Central to Elizabeth's practice is the conviction that patients deserve both cutting-edge neuroscience and genuine compassion. Rather than a one-size-fits-all protocol, each patient at Reno TMS Center receives a treatment plan shaped by comprehensive evaluation, ongoing symptom tracking, and open collaboration between doctor and patient. Elizabeth's clinical focus at Reno TMS Center includes specialized expertise in OCD, Anxiety, PTSD. Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder requires a specialized Deep TMS approach, targeting the anterior cingulate cortex and medial prefrontal cortex — brain structures implicated in the repetitive thought-action cycles that define OCD. The FDA-cleared protocol uses BrainsWay's H7 coil to reach these deeper brain regions, offering significant symptom reduction for patients who have not responded adequately to SSRIs or cognitive-behavioral therapy. TMS therapy for anxiety targets specific prefrontal cortex regions involved in emotional regulation and threat processing. By modulating activity in these circuits, TMS can help reduce excessive worry, physical tension, and the hypervigilance that characterizes anxiety disorders. Emerging research supports both standard and accelerated TMS protocols for generalized anxiety, with many patients experiencing relief that complements or replaces medication-based approaches. At Reno TMS Center, Elizabeth works with Nexstim, Magstim — giving patients access to multiple FDA-cleared TMS platforms. This multi-device capability allows for protocol selection tailored to each patient's specific diagnosis and treatment targets. Elizabeth stays current with evolving treatment protocols, including standard repetitive TMS, theta burst stimulation, and accelerated treatment schedules where appropriate. What patients consistently note about Elizabeth is the combination of clinical expertise and personal attention.
