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.

Shaquala Fields

Shaquala Fields

Therapist

Virtual • Alabama


As a single mom of color, I have witnessed the extreme societal pressure placed on mothers to choose between their career or their children; leaving little room to even provide attention to their own self care. This ignited a passion within me to use my skills to support women to navigate through the chaos. My goal is to work with those women who may need help coping through these very real everyday stressors. Not a mom? That's ok! I can also empathize with the pressure placed on women of color in the workplace to work so much harder than their male counterparts. Its my hope to create a safe space for you to explore these feelings.


It can be challenging at times for women to have access to a therapist who can empathize with their experiences. Through a strengths based approach, I would love to share my personal experience with being a woman of color, a mom, a Christian, as well as a goal oriented professional in non-profit leadership and mental health.

Through this journey, I want you to find a sense of fulfillment, purpose, and self worth and I would be honored to take that walk with you. Our sessions will not be for me to "social work" you, but for you to unload some of the pressure and burden to make the ride a bit easier. No matter what it feels like, you got this... you can do this!

Therapist

For 30 years, I've been in the room with people who were tired of the same cycles — anxious, overwhelmed, stuck in grief, or strained in their closest relationships — and wanted something to actually change. I'm an LPC licensed in Alabama offering telehealth sessions, and I work with individuals, families, and adolescents on a wide range of life challenges. What you'll get with me is straightforward: an experienced counselor who is direct without being cold, solution-focused without being dismissive of what you've been through, and genuinely invested in helping you build tools that last.
