Getting to know Dr. Renia Smith
Dr. Renia Smith is a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) and the founder of Solidarity Mental Health, PLLC. She earned her Doctorate in Psychiatric Nursing Practice with Summa Cum Laude distinction from the University of Massachusetts Amherst and also holds a Master of Science in Nursing as a Family Nurse Practitioner. Dr. Smith specializes in 90-minute comprehensive psychiatric diagnostic evaluations and medication management, with particular expertise in adult Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), anxiety disorders, and mood disorders such as Major Depressive Disorder. Her clinical approach integrates evidence-based pharmacologic treatment with lifestyle and behavioral strategies to support meaningful, sustainable improvement in daily functioning. She has experience working with adults, adolescents and children across a range of psychiatric settings and brings a structured, thorough, and collaborative approach to each patient evaluation.
What should a new client know about working with you?
My practice focuses on the comprehensive evaluation and treatment of ADHD, anxiety, and depression. I provide thorough 90-minute diagnostic assessments that explore psychiatric history, medical contributors, lifestyle factors, and executive functioning patterns to ensure clarity and accuracy in diagnosis. Treatment plans are individualized and evidence-based, often combining medication management with practical strategies (diet modification, exercise, and sleep management) to improve focus, productivity, mood stability, and overall functioning. My approach is collaborative, structured, and patient-centered. I prioritize creating a confidential and respectful environment where patients feel comfortable discussing challenges while also receiving clear guidance and measurable next steps. After a comprehensive evaluation, we develop a treatment plan together designed to support meaningful progress.

Renia is an amazing doctor! I am a tourist and I had to refill my antidepressant medication for my last month here, and she asked me so many questions about my past and my current situation, always being supportive and kind. She even shared some recommendations so I could talk to my doctor back in my country. I would definitely recommend her!

Dr. Renia Smith was just such a joy to work with and I highly recommend her. She truly understood what I have been dealing with for years. She listened, recommended counselors, medications, a diet plan, and vitamins to manage my symptoms.
May 27, 2022Jenna L.Verified patientVideo visit
She was incredibly calming and made me instantly feel like we would get to the bottom of what I had been dealing with. She saw me the same day I reached out and after a thorough appointment made sure I was okay until the next one. It was definitely one of if not the best sessions I’ve had with a psychiatrist. Very glad I found her! ?
March 28, 2022Sarah B.Verified patientVideo visit
Dr Smith took the time to actually listen to me, she listened to the struggles I have in my life and how my ADHD is affecting my daily life. She treated me like a person and not just another patient. I tried to see another Dr for this and they just brushed me off and didn’t listen to word I said, and just told me I’m depressed. Dr Smith listened to every word I said!! I highly highly recommend her for ADHD concerns, or any other mental health concerns. I pay out of pocket to see her, and she is worth it. Im finally starting to feel like my usual normal self ??

I had a virtual telehealth visit. Renia was a terrific provider. She was great directing the conversation., efficient, but allowed plenty of time fo me to answer. she offered some ways to get started to treat my condition. I would highly recommend her if someone is looking for this type of provider.

I highly recommend seeing Dr. Reina Smith. She was thoughtful and a great listener, and didn't try to push medication on me, rather giving me other options to try first and explained the scientific rationale behind it. Thanks Dr. Smith - it was a pleasure speaking with you.
