Lindsay Smith (she/her)

Lindsay embarked on her journey in the mental health sector in 1999. Over time, her close interactions with teenagers illuminated their unique struggles and demands. Recognizing these nuanced needs, she established the Teen Therapy Center of Silicon Valley in 2010. This center offers a specialized sanctuary where teens receive tailored therapy, in-home coaching, behavioral medicine services, and distinctive psycho-educational testing. In 2015, she broadened her mission by creating the Family Therapy Center of Silicon Valley, carving out a healing haven for children and adults alike.

Life, as it often does, threw a curveball in 2019. Lindsay endured a devastating car accident, resulting in a traumatic brain injury. This injury ushered in a series of debilitating migraines and acute sensitivities. She explored a variety of traditional and alternative treatments, spanning from medication and hyperbaric oxygen therapy to NAD infusions and chiropractic care, to name a few. But the relief remained elusive over a span of 3.5 years.

However, 2023 brought a breakthrough. Lindsay encountered Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS). Venturing into this treatment without any assurance of success, she clung to the hope that TMS might offer a reprieve from her relentless symptoms. To her relief, this innovative treatment gradually diminished her ailments, reinstating a clarity and focus she had started to believe was lost forever.

Inspired by her own journey, Lindsay founded The Healthy Brain Center. More than just a center, it's a testament to the idea that sometimes, when one door closes, another opens. Through the center, Lindsay hopes to introduce others to the potential of TMS, especially for those who feel like they’ve tried everything, with little to no success. The Healthy Brain Center isn't just about treatment; it’s about hope, about second chances, and about believing in the potential of tomorrow.
