Meet your therapist

Hi, I’m Dr. Reneé.

I’m Reneé Smith, Ph.D., LMFT—a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who finds purpose and fulfillment in working with couples, adult individuals, and the dynamics within and between adult family members and family systems.

I am passionate about helping adults learn new ways to navigate life’s challenges, strengthen relationships, and pursue meaningful personal growth. I feel a particular calling to support healing after betrayal, broken trust, infidelity, emotional trauma, and other attachment injuries—experiences that can leave individuals and relationships feeling disconnected, guarded, or unsure of how to move forward.

Being invited into the most vulnerable spaces of a person’s life or relationship is no small gesture. I regard that trust as a privilege, and it is one of the reasons I approach this work with humility, compassion, and care.

Choosing Your Direction

The meaning behind Crossroads Couples & Family Therapy, PLLC

Crossroads can be places of uncertainty—and possibility.

Crossroads represent moments of choice—times when we pause, consider where we have been, and decide how we want to move forward. Relationships and life can bring us to these moments in ways both expected and unexpected.

Couples, individuals, and adult family members may arrive at a crossroads after conflict, betrayal, transition, loss, disconnection, or simply the realization that an old way of moving forward no longer works. Therapy can offer space to pause, understand what brought you here, consider what matters most, and move toward a path shaped by greater clarity, connection, and intention.

PREPARE/ENRICH for Couples

A customized online assessment and skill-building program for dating or premarital (PREPARE) and married or long-term (ENRICH) adult couples. PREPARE/ENRICH helps couples better understand their relationship strengths and growth areas, deepen communication, build practical relationship skills, and move forward more intentionally together.

A thoughtful, integrative approach

Understanding the patterns beneath the problem.

The way we respond in relationships often makes sense when we understand the experiences, emotions, attachment needs, and protective patterns underneath it.

Our work may include noticing interaction cycles, exploring attachment needs, building emotional awareness, strengthening coping skills, and practicing new ways of communicating. Sessions are tailored to your goals, preferences, and lived experience.

Faith integration: Guided by my Christian faith, I welcome the opportunity to incorporate Christian principles or a faith-based approach into therapy when desired by the client. At the same time, I respect and welcome each client’s individual beliefs, values, and worldview.

Therapy informed by relationship science and your lived experience.

Depending on your needs, our work may draw from or integrate:

  • Family Systems and Attachment-Based Therapy
  • Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)-informed concepts
  • Internal Family Systems (IFS)-informed perspectives
  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy strategies
  • Gottman Method concepts
  • PREPARE/ENRICH relationship assessment and enrichment
