Hi! I’m Renee. I’m a clinically licensed social worker, but more importantly, I’m someone who believes that no matter how stuck or heavy things feel right now, you already possess the inner tools to heal. My path to this work was driven by a deep value for human resilience; I’ve always been drawn to the stories we tell ourselves and how, with the right support, we can rewrite them. In our sessions, you won't feel like a case file or a list of symptoms. Clients often tell me after our first meeting that they finally felt heard—not just listened to. I aim to create a space that feels like a deep breath: safe, non-judgmental, and focused entirely on you. While I use trauma-informed and cognitive-based tools, I don't just "apply" them to you. Instead, we work together to uncover your existing strengths and use them as the foundation for your recovery. I view the healing process as a collaborative journey of empowerment. It isn’t about "fixing" what’s broken, but about reclaiming the parts of yourself that may have been lost to life’s challenges. My approach is warm and direct; I’m here to be your guide and your loudest cheerleader as you transform. Outside of the therapy room, I carry these same values of authenticity and connection into my own life, believing that we are all constantly growing. I would be honored to walk alongside you as you discover just how capable of healing you truly are.

Many of the people I work with feel overwhelmed by anxiety, stuck in patterns they cannot seem to break, or carrying experiences from the past that still affect how they see themselves and their lives today. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor who works with adults navigating anxiety, trauma, depression, and life transitions. My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and grounded in genuine conversation. I use approaches such as EMDR and cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients process difficult experiences, better understand the thoughts and beliefs that shape their emotions, and develop tools that support real, lasting change. Ultimately, I want to create a space where you feel comfortable being honest about what you are going through. Together we work to make sense of what has been weighing on you and help you move forward with more clarity, confidence, and self-trust.

My approach is warm, grounded, and collaborative. I work from a trauma‑informed and attachment‑focused lens, and I move at a pace that feels safe for you. I integrate modalities like CBT, DBT, EMDR, EFT, and somatic awareness to support both insight and nervous‑system regulation. My goal is to create a space where you feel understood, not judged, and where your story is honored with care. I believe healing happens through connection, clarity, and gentle, consistent support—and I’m here to walk with you through that process.

Greetings, I'm Anita Smith! If this is your first time seeking help, I would like to commend you for your courage, and if you have had therapy before, I hope I say something that connects for you.

Life can change in an instant — an injury, a diagnosis, or loss — leaving your world unrecognizable and overwhelming yet even here, steadiness is still possible.
