Renee Smith

Renee Smith

Therapist

Virtual • Vestavia Hills, AL


I like to work off of the principle based on a quote by Zora Neal Hurston: " If you are silent about your pain, they’ll kill you and say you enjoyed it.". I believe that healing comes from giving your pain a voice and finding healthy ways to cope and explore who you have become through the pain. Healing in and of itself can be painful, but finding supportive and safe community can help ease some of the discomfort. I believe in therapy because I invested in therapy for myself for several years- I know the benefit of having someone to walk in the darkness with you.
