Meet The Holistic Therapist

LeNaya Smith Crawford, The Holistic Therapist™, is a trailblazing Holistic Mental Health Educator, Licensed Therapist, Business Mentor, International Teacher, and Wellness CEO dedicated to shifting the paradigm of mental health and healing. With a mission to make holistic mental health accessible, inclusive, and deeply embodied, she trains and empowers the therapists, healers, and organizations who are committed to taking a holistic approach to mental health and healing.

LeNaya is the founder of The Holistic Therapist Academy™, a globally recognized continuing education and immersion program that trains therapists, healers, and mental health professionals on how to ethically integrate and confidently facilitate holistic modalities—like trauma-informed yoga, breathwork, energy work, sound healing, meditation, and affirmations—into their clinical and healing practices. The Academy is grounded in her signature Holistic Therapist Methodology™, which supports clients in healing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and trauma by working with all layers of the self: physical, energetic, mental, emotional, spiritual, and communal.

Rooted in both science and soul, LeNaya’s approach to therapy and entrepreneurship bridges the clinical with the sacred. She holds a Bachelor’s in Psychology from Spelman College, graduating with honors, and a Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy, specializing in spiritual integration and trauma therapy. In addition to her academic and clinical training, she is an advanced certified Yoga, Breathwork, and Meditation Guide (ERYT-500+), a Trauma-Informed Facilitator, and a trained Sound Healer—with over 2,000 hours of facilitation experience in yoga, breathwork, and sound healing. Her therapeutic expertise is matched by her depth as a healing practitioner, giving her a uniquely integrated perspective that positions her as a leading expert in the holistic mental health field.

With over a decade of experience, LeNaya defines Holistic Mental Health and Healing as “the return to wholeness through integrating practices of the mind, body, and spirit.” Her work has been featured in The New York Times, Essence, The Huffington Post, Healthline, and more. She has also partnered with organizations like Therapy for Black Girls and Open Path Collective—organizations that are committed to making mental health accessible to diverse communities.

LeNaya is the CEO of LSC Wellness, a global holistic wellness company; the Co-Owner of Seviin Yoga Studio + Yoga School in Atlanta, Georgia; and the Founder and Clinical Director of Kaleidoscope Therapy and Holistic Wellness, a trauma-informed therapy and wellness practice that serves clients across Georgia, Florida, and nationwide through both in-person and virtual integrative services.

She is also the creator of The Holistic Healing Circle™, a membership and self-care community for women therapists, helpers, and healers, and The Healers Retreat, a restorative retreat experience designed to remind those who hold space for others that they too are worthy of deep support and holistic healing. Through these offerings, LeNaya addresses the vital question: “Who heals the healer?”—reminding practitioners that their healing is just as important as the healing they provide.

As a Business Mentor for Holistic, Somatic, and Unconventional Therapists and Healers, LeNaya supports her clients in expanding beyond 1:1 work to build thriving, ethical, and impactful businesses—without sacrificing their well-being. Through her signature Heal. Learn. Grow. approach, she helps Healers and Leaders  reclaim their wholeness, expand their skills, and step boldly into who God created them to be.

LeNaya believes in a world where everyone can take a holistic approach to the way we heal, the way we work, and the way we expand...rooted in alignment, care, and community.
