Treating Anxiety and Depression from a Holistic Approach
Dr. Ashley Smith
- Recorded Webinar
Overview:
Anxiety and depressive disorders are among the most prevalent psychiatric conditions. While common, these disorders can be quite heterogeneous, with presentations, etiologies, and treatment needs varying from patient to patient. There are several evidence-based treatments available as well as an emerging body of literature supporting the use of lifestyle and alternative strategies, but there is no one-size fits all treatment approach.
In this presentation, Dr. Ashley Smith will cover a wide-range of treatment methods and modalities that can be beneficial for anxiety and depressive disorders, including traditional psychological approaches like therapy and medication. We will also explore alternative interventions such as the use of exercise, nutrition, supplementation, social/relationship factors, and positive psychology practices. We will explore how to use various treatments ethically and effectively and address multiple intervention targets. By the end of this training, attendees will have a robust understanding of how to approach the treatment of anxiety and depression from a whole-person perspective.
Objectives:
- Assess depression and anxiety from a whole person perspective.
- Use assessment data to inform selection of intervention targets for anxiety and depression.
- Identify at least three interventions to consider when treating anxiety and depression.
- Discuss intervention strategies with their clients, including the pros and cons as well as the clinical rationale.

She ventured out on her own in 2017 and continues her private practice, where she is a sought-after anxiety specialist. In addition to direct clinical work, she is actively involved in a number of other scholarly activities. She has been an adjunct assistant professor and has provided supervision and consultation for students and other professionals. She has several publications, including peer-reviewed journal articles, chapters in edited volumes, blog posts and online articles, and a book, Childhood Anxiety Disorders. She is a long-time member of the Anxiety and Depression Association of America and recently received their Special Recognition Award for her public outreach efforts. Dr. Ashley regularly presents workshops and trainings on local and national levels. She is passionate about sharing cognitive behavioral therapy, positive psychology practices, and applied neuroscience to help people struggling with anxiety live better lives; this passion has driven efforts to help more people in novel ways, ultimately leading to the creation of Peak Mind: The Center for Psychological Strength, which she co-founded in 2019.
