Meet Denisha Smith

Early Life

Shortly after graduating from Virginia Union, she obtained her Masters degree in Professional Counseling from Liberty University in 2012. Denisha hit the ground running working within impoverished communities where she was able to see firsthand the disparity in mental health services that people of color were receiving. In June of 2016, she was licensed by Dr. Anthony Michael Chandler at Cedar St Baptist Church in Richmond, VA to preach the Gospel. Denisha uses her ministry to not only preach but to integrate clinical and spiritual implications in the work that she does.

Healing Focused

Raised in a single-parent home with three siblings, Denisha witnessed her mother grind to meet the needs of her children while sacrificing many of her own needs. Although her mother was constantly stretched, she always made sure that relationship with God and being a part of her church community remained first. With her educational background and passion for fostering healing in others, Denisha was led to create a space where spiritual and emotional healing were able to meet which birthed Healing Well Therapy, a holistic therapy practice in Richmond, VA.
