Renee Smith

Therapist

Virtual • Vestavia Hills, AL


I like to work off of the principle based on a quote by Zora Neal Hurston: " If you are silent about your pain, they’ll kill you and say you enjoyed it.". I believe that healing comes from giving your pain a voice and finding healthy ways to cope and explore who you have become through the pain. Healing in and of itself can be painful, but finding supportive and safe community can help ease some of the discomfort. I believe in therapy because I invested in therapy for myself for several years- I know the benefit of having someone to walk in the darkness with you.

Hello there, My name is Rebecca Welsh and I am a counselor.. I have always loved the quote by CS Lewis: "Friendship begins when one says to the other, 'You too? So do I? I thought I was the only one!' "

I believe shame was the feeling that was felt before that quote was spoken, unfortunately but purposely by God's provision, I happen to know a lot about shame. I enjoy helping clients understand themselves and their stories and walk out of shame and darkness into the Light of acceptance by a Loving Father

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands maternal mental health

Headway helps you find expert-guided support for every stage of motherhood — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Montgomery

Finding a postpartum therapist in Montgomery, AL starts with identifying the type of support you need. Postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety are among the most common perinatal mental health concerns, but providers on Headway also specialize in birth trauma, pregnancy loss, and adjustment to parenthood. A licensed therapist, counselor, or psychiatrist with perinatal experience can help you determine the right approach — whether that's talk therapy, medication management, or both.

Montgomery has a growing network of mental health providers, but narrowing your options can still feel overwhelming — especially when you're already managing the demands of a new baby. Reading a provider's bio is one of the most useful steps you can take. Look for details about their clinical approach, the populations they work with, and whether they offer virtual or in-person sessions in Montgomery.

Therapy in Montgomery can be expensive without insurance, but using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book, and your out-of-pocket cost may be as low as $0 per session. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a postpartum therapist who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
