Getting to know Dawnea Smith
Hi, I’m Dawnea Smith, LPC, founder of Reach for Peace Counseling, LLC. I provide a safe, supportive space for individuals to process life’s challenges, build resilience, and move toward healing. My counseling style is warm, compassionate, and solution-focused—I believe in meeting clients where they are and helping them take practical steps toward lasting change.
I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, and relationship struggles, offering tools that encourage emotional growth, balance, and peace. My approach integrates evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), person-centered counseling, and mindfulness techniques to support both personal insight and actionable progress.
Clients often share that my sessions feel both grounding and empowering—a place where they can be truly heard while also walking away with strategies to use in daily life.
If you’re ready to invest in your emotional wellness and move toward peace, I’d be honored to walk alongside you in that journey.

More information on payments and coverage
After scheduling your appointment through Zocdoc, you will receive a follow-up email from Tava with instructions to complete the necessary registration in our patient portal, including insurance and payment details. Placing a credit card on file is required to process insurance billing and any applicable deductible-related charges. Please complete your registration within 24 hours to ensure a smooth check-in and avoid delays in accessing care. If registration is not completed in time, we may not be able to verify your insurance coverage, which could result in unexpected out-of-pocket costs for your visit. Per our office policies, a fee may be charged for missed appointments or late cancellations.
