Dr. Smoot will also be available to work cases with our very experienced and savvy team of Vantage Point clinicians, including Dr. Gordon Day (Clinical Director), Dr. Shane Whiting, Jamie Kaczmarek, LCSW, and Caitlin Galt, LPC.

Dr. Gordon Day, Aspiro Group Clinical Director said, "Carl is not only a respected psychologist, he is also a good friend and a hell of a fisherman! I am very excited about the strengths Carl will add to our Aspiro team."

Dr. Smoot received his Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from the University of Utah and worked in a variety of inpatient and outpatient treatment settings before co-founding Psychological Solutions, Inc. (PSI). He is a licensed psychologist and has over 15 years of assessment experience. He is well-versed in academic, neuropsychological, vocational, aptitude and personality assessment, including projective assessment tools. Carl particularly enjoys the outdoors and has spent years traveling to wilderness programs providing psychological assessment, therapy, consultation and training. While Carl will continue his association with Psychological Solutions as a consultant and supervisor, Dr. Tracine Smoot will be assuming the lead role at PSI.
