Mental Health. Authentic Wellness. Meaningful Change.
Creating space for real conversations, culturally responsive mental health education, and more authentic approaches to well-being.
At The DRS Collective, we believe mental health and wellness should be accessible, inclusive, and grounded in the realities of people's lives. Through education, training, and expert consultation, Dr. Reyna Smith partners with individuals, communities, teams, and organizations to navigate mental health, strengthen well-being, and create environments where people feel supported, valued, and empowered to thrive.
Grounded in clinical expertise, cultural responsiveness, and a commitment to social justice, our work goes beyond checking boxes or offering one-size-fits-all solutions. We bring people together for honest conversations, practical learning, and meaningful strategies that translate into real-world change.
Whether we're educating and empowering marginalized communities, equipping professionals with tools to support mental health, or helping organizations build cultures where wellness is genuinely prioritized, the goal is the same: making mental health and well-being a meaningful part of how we live, work, lead, and connect.
Meet Dr. Reyna Smith
I'm a mental health professional, educator, consultant, and wellness advocate passionate about making mental health more accessible, culturally responsive, and meaningful in people's everyday lives.
With over a decade of experience as a licensed professional counselor, my work spans clinical practice, higher education, professional training, and organizational consultation. I founded The DRS Collective to empower marginalized communities, equip professionals with practical tools, and help teams and organizations move beyond performative wellness toward authentic, people-centered practices.
Grounded in clinical expertise, social justice, and cultural responsiveness, my approach centers honest conversations and practical solutions that help people feel seen, valued, and supported. Whether I'm facilitating a workshop, consulting with an organization, or sharing my expertise, my goal is to make mental health and well-being a meaningful part of how we live, work, and connect.
Dr. Smith’s mentorship not only helped me excel in my role but also profoundly shaped my growth as a counselor. Her wisdom, guidance, and unwavering support were instrumental in navigating some of the toughest cases I faced, consistently providing insightful consultation when I needed it most.
Former Supervisee
Working with Dr. Smith was amazing. From our very first consultation, she really took the time to understand my goals and helped me bring out my voice in my personal statement. Her feedback was thoughtful, encouraging, and exactly what I needed. I felt confident submitting my application and I ended up receiving a 5-figure fellowship to support my doctoral studies! I truly couldn’t have done it without her.
