Thirteen years in Greer. Not because it was easy. Because this is home.
A Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who built a practice one relationship at a time, in the town she has called home for more than three decades.
I'm Jeanna Smith, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. When I opened my practice in 2013, Greer was a small town and I was one of two therapists in it. I built this practice one relationship at a time, and I have watched this community grow and change for more than three decades as a resident myself.
I graduated from Converse College and practiced at Westgate Counseling Center, Middle Tyger Community Center, and the Upstate Resource Center before opening my own doors. I have extensive training in couples therapy, grief, and women's issues, and deep experience with life transitions like divorce, retirement, and menopause.
I have been married for more than 35 years and raised three daughters, so when we talk about relationships, family, and the seasons of a woman's life, I am not speaking from a textbook. You are the expert in your lived experience. My job is to walk beside you and help you get where you want to go.
Real change, not the crisis of the week
Some therapy becomes a weekly check-in on whatever happened since the last session. That has its place, but it is not what most of my clients come for. They come because a pattern keeps repeating and they are ready to do something about it.
Do I need to come in weekly?
Some of my clients come in every four to six weeks. We use the hour to look at what has happened since we last met, work through whatever is getting in the way, and decide what comes next.
Between sessions, I will often point you towards resources that fit exactly what we are working on. When something harder comes up, we can meet more often until you are through it.
It is therapy that fits a real life and a real budget. We work together to find a timeline and budget that fits your needs.
Fit matters more than technique
Research on therapy keeps landing on the same finding: the relationship between therapist and client predicts progress more than any particular method. That is why the first conversation matters, and why I would rather you find the right fit than simply fill a slot on my calendar.
You set the pace
Grief does not follow a schedule and neither does healing. We go after what is underneath, with practical steps between sessions, at a pace you can actually sustain.
Your privacy is the practice
This is a private pay practice, so no insurance company ever receives a diagnosis, session notes, or any record of your care. Many of my longest clients are professionals who chose this practice for exactly that reason. Read why that matters.
