Hello, I have been a therapist for my whole life, or so it would seem. I feel as though I have always been a good listener and have been there for friends, family and people that need somebody to listen. I have learned a lot about what people have gone through, from working with adults in jail and/or teens trying to understand themselves. Life is complicated, maybe you just need somebody to listen.

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. I'm curious to know what brought you here and what you would like to get out of therapy? I specialize in helping individuals cope with the different kinds of losses: 1) Primary losses - the death of a loved one, friend or pet, break-up, separation, divorce, loss of job, loss of money, the victim of a crime and losses due to Covid19 2)Secondary losses - moving, illness, changes and success; 3) Limbo losses - Covid 19, waiting for the outcome of a test result, a lawsuit, separation, not knowing the outcome; 4) Complicated losses - primary, secondary and limbo losses going on at the same time. The reactions to loss could be feeling of anxiety, depression, helpless, fearful, emptiness, despair, pessimistic, irritability, anger, guilty, restlessness, loss of concentration, hope, motivation, energy, change in appetite, sleep pattern and a tendency to be more fatigued and error prone. Are you experiencing any of those feelings? I also work with individuals who desire prayer before our sessions. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Texas for 25+ years, a National Certified Counselor (NCC) for 35+ years, and a Board Certified Coach (BCC) for 10 years.

A little about me, I'm Shaunté owner of Thrive Health LLC. I'm a first-born Leo through and through, direct, warm, and not afraid to be a little bold.

Everything I do is grounded in a trauma-informed lens, because I believe the things that trip us up usually aren't flaws, they're protections that made sense once, even if they don't anymore. My style is collaborative and goal-focused: this is your life we're working toward, and I'm here to help you get there.

Embarking on a journey of self-improvement can be daunting. I am dedicated to employing a range of tools and techniques to assist you in overcoming life's obstacles, developing new skills, and enhancing your self-confidence. Being a therapist is both a profound responsibility and a privilege. The role demands a deep sense of empathy, patience, and an unwavering commitment to the well-being of others. Therapists must navigate the intricate landscapes of human emotion and behavior, providing a safe and non-judgmental space for clients to explore their thoughts and feelings. I employ a range of techniques and therapeutic modalities tailored to each individual's unique needs, constantly adapting and learning. Beyond the technical skills, the essence of therapy lies in the genuine connection and trust that forms between therapist and client, fostering a journey toward healing and personal growth.

This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use.
