About
I believe one of the most effective ways of forming meaningful interpersonal connectivity is by being intentional in one’s effort in “seeing” the individuals I am privileged to “share space” with.
Renea Smith is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with over a year of supervised clinical counseling experience, working with seniors, adults, adolescents, families, and couples in private practice settings. Renea also has over 14 years of experience in school counseling. Having grown up in a multi-generational home during her adolescent years and having served both the comprehensive and exceptional education school settings, she has a deep-rooted admiration and respect for the older population, parents, educators, caregivers of children with unique needs and abilities. She seeks to provide support to those in need of an extra dose of reassurance, unconditional positive regard, and relevant coping skills to take care of themselves as they take care of others around them.
As a former Peace Corps Volunteer (South Africa 1999-2001) who earned her Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Liberty University, Renea believes it is paramount to show honor to all people and the history we each bring into this world we share. She has clinical experience working with a diverse array of individuals. Each individual, as well as their personal struggles and resources of strength, insight, and rich experience are warmly welcomed into her counseling room.
Renea welcomes this awesome opportunity to not only educate, guide, and empower, but also to learn, grow, and even play---together!

Career counseling, sometimes called career coaching, helps individuals make informed career decisions. This type of counseling is led by one of our Henrico therapists who is trained to provide career development support.
Career counseling works to help you navigate your professional career and offer valuable information, such as required skill sets and/or education, regarding a particular position you may be considering. The following are common focuses of conversation that will help your career counselor best help you:
Career counseling at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and via Online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Career counseling can last for weeks, months, or even years. It all depends on the goals that you’re looking to accomplish and whether you continue to want/need a counselor to help you reach your goals. Either way, our career counselors are here and ready to help you get on the right track.
When a job situation is dragging you or someone you care about down, eventually it filters into all aspects of that unhappy worker’s life. Oftentimes that leads to deleterious effects that impact a person’s health, well-being and damages their relationships.
If you’re looking to benefit from career counseling, reach out to Thriveworks at Short Pump to get started.

If you or someone you love currently exhibits one or more of these symptoms because of their job, a career change is advisable before the spillover effects get worse.
Career counselors or coaches can walk you through the self-assessment and career development process step-by-step. Some of the ways they do that include:
Using these methods while under the direction of a trained career coach can go a long way in helping a person find out who they truly are, what their job skills might be, and how that package best fits into an employment setting.
