Jenny Smith, MEd
Therapist at Renewed Foundations Counseling Services in Rome, GA
Hello! I’m Jenny, a pre-licensed counselor here to help you navigate life’s ups and downs with a mix of thoughtful guidance and a touch of humor. With a down-to-earth and empathetic approach, I work to create a space where you can feel comfortable being your most authentic self—whether that means sharing your deepest worries or just venting about your day.
​
Whether you’re navigating anxiety, trauma, identity exploration, or simply looking for tools to handle life’s ups and downs, I am here to help you feel heard, understood, and empowered.
​
My approach is client-centered, focusing on building a safe, trusting relationship with you where we can explore whatever challenges you’re facing—at your own pace. I specialize in helping people manage anxiety and depression, process trauma, explore neurodiversity, and embrace their identity, including within the LGBTQ+ community. I believe that therapy should be a place where you feel welcomed and accepted for exactly who you are, and I’m here to walk with you every step of the way on your journey toward healing and personal growth.
Supporting Clients on Their Journeys
I specialize in guiding clients through major life transitions such as divorce, becoming new parents, coping with chronic illness, or sending children off to college. I also enjoy working with individuals and couples exploring LGBTQ+ identity, ethical non-monogamy, parenting challenges, and family dynamics. I help clients untangle complex emotions, such as those stemming from parentification, emotionally immature parents, or unresolved family conflicts.

What Therapy with Me Looks Like
I believe therapy doesn’t have to feel stuffy or intimidating. My goal is to make each session feel like a conversation with someone who truly gets it—and gets you. Whether you’re seeking personal growth, a space to process life’s ups and downs, or just someone to help you make sense of it all, I am here to guide you.
I offer individual, couples, and family therapy in a relaxed, collaborative setting, where clients are encouraged to bring their authentic selves. I tailor sessions to meet your unique needs. We’ll work together to connect the dots between your past and present, explore patterns that may no longer serve you, and develop tools to foster authentic relationships that align with who you are today.
