Jenina Smith, LPC is an amazing Therapist. I’ve been with her for a couple of years now. She originally became my Therapist under her former employer. However, fortunately they allowed her clients (if they wanted) to follow her to her new position. And I chose to stay with her. When Jenina and I first met, I had been in a wreck, 2 weeks after my wreck - my son was in a terrible crash where he was trapped in a burning car. I literally was a personal wreck from all the trauma. The first conversation with Jenina was so soothing and comforting. She has such a calming tone in her voice that will just relax you as you talk to her. It was my first time seeing a Therapist. I am always viewed as such a strong person to everyone but I knew that I could not function in life until I worked through the trauma, anxiety & just the burdens resulting from all of this. She has provided great coping skills, suggestions & conversations to help me handle all of this. I am at such a better place in my life. I am getting me back and I’ve gotten my joy back. Thank you Jenina for all you are doing to get my life back on track. I am thankful for Meeting you and the journey. And for those who are at a low, going through life’s obstacles and just Life Life-ing (as I like to say😊) - reach out to Jenina Smith for services. And remember if she is not a fit for you, don’t give up because there are other available Counselors there that I’m sure will work! Give them a call! Peace & Blessings!🥰

I’ve had such a positive experience with Jenina Smith. From the very beginning, she made me feel comfortable, heard, and understood without any judgment. She truly takes the time to listen and helps me process my thoughts and emotions in a way that feels safe and manageable. What I appreciate most about Jenina is how patient, supportive, and encouraging she is. She has helped me work through difficult situations and manage my anxiety while guiding me toward a healthier mindset. I never feel rushed during our sessions, and I always leave feeling more at peace and confident than when I arrived. If you’re looking for a therapist who genuinely cares about your well-being and creates a safe, welcoming space for healing and growth, I highly recommend Jenina Smith.

I’ve been a client of Jeninas for about three and a half years now, and I can honestly say it has been one of the greatest blessings in my life. She has supported me through some of my hardest moments and also celebrated me during my best ones. With her, I’ve always felt truly seen, heard, and understood. She creates a space that feels safe, supportive, and genuinely caring, and that has made such a difference in my growth and healing. I’m incredibly grateful for the impact she’s had on my life and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate, dedicated counselor.

I've been blessed to have Jenina as my therapist for about 6 1/2 years. I started seeing her a week after my oldest daughter passed away. She's helped me navigate my darkest days and guided me in my healing journey by teaching me healthy coping skills and helping me find strength. She's an exceptional therapist, a true godsend. I’m so truly grateful that I was able to stay with her when she transitioned over to LifeStance ..
