ANNA KRISTINE SMITH, CSAT
DIRECTOR, Meadows Outpatient Services-DENVER
Born in Japan, Anna Smith earned a bachelor’s degree from Baylor University followed by a master’s in clinical mental health from Denver Seminary. A certified sex addiction therapist (CSAT) she is also trained in EMDR, Brainspotting, and Internal Family Systems (IFS). Seeing the importance of mental health and recovery in her own family and her personal life, she found her calling. Previous experience includes roles as clinical director at Valiant Living and adjunct professor at Denver Seminary. Then she joined the Meadows Behavioral Health team in late 2021, helming their new Meadows Outpatient Center in Denver.
She particularly loves being a counselor to the counselors, which is why the director role is a perfect fit. She gets to help keep the healers healthy so that they can do their work to the best of their abilities. A calm presence in the midst of chaos, Smith enjoys empowering others, showing them they are stronger than they think.
Married for 13 years, Smith is a writer in her spare time. She loves reading, especially fantasy, and likes to paint and draw. As a Colorado resident, she also enjoys the beauty right outside her door, hiking and being in nature.

Our Partial Hospitalization program (PHP)
A partial hospitalization level of care is ideal for those who require stabilization and a safe space before transitioning to an intensive outpatient program (IOP). Average length of stay in our PHP spans four weeks, with an option to extend if deemed clinically appropriate. Program hours are increased at this level of care to allow for a focus on regulation in preparation to step down to our IOP. While programming is tailored to the individual’s needs, those in the partial hospitalization program routinely have 1-2 individual sessions each week, weekly psychiatry sessions, weekly family recovery virtual sessions, and neurofeedback sessions as needed.
PHP Level of Care Includes:
- 4-week length of stay (with option to extend)
- Programming 5 days per week, 5-6 hours per day
- Focus on stabilization, safety, and regulation
- Case management
- Preparation for IOP level of care
