Syreeta Smith

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 20 mi away • Douglasville, GA


Hi, I'm Syreeta! My passion for helping others began as a volunteer at my children's elementary school, where I realized that helping children also means supporting their families. That experience inspired me to earn a bachelor's degree in Human Services with a concentration in Mental Health and a master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Since then, I've had the privilege of working with children, adolescents, adults, and families in both hospital and private practice settings. I believe healing is possible with the right guidance, compassion, and support, and I strive to create a safe, welcoming space where clients feel heard, empowered, and equipped to navigate life's challenges with confidence.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 24 mi away • Kennesaw, GA


Relationships can sometimes feel like you are speaking two different languages. You both love each other but argue about the smallest things. Feeling like you have to raise your voice just to be heard? Then feeling hurt because you are still misunderstood?

This is common for many couples. I can help give you the tools you need to really talk to each other again. To redirect that passion in a healthy direction and teach you how to truly rediscover each other!
