“Sometimes the smallest step in the right direction ends up being the biggest step of your life. Tip toe if you must. But take the step” – unknown. Maneuvering through life’s troubled waters can sometimes be overwhelming. In today’s hectic fast-paced world sometimes it’s good to let your guard down, relax, and release all those emotions and troubles in a safe, comfortable environment. I am ready to help you heal, explore, and gain insight into resolving any issues to live a more serene, well-balanced life. I am passionate about helping clients bring back the laughter, confidence, and security. I am caring and committed with comprehensive treatments designed for each individual I work with. I have experience in working with individuals of diverse backgrounds in all stages of life from childhood issues to adolescence to adulthood. I have assisted individuals experiencing emotional and behavioral impairments as well as those struggling with adjusting to life’s hurdles and transitioning into new beginnings. Graduating from Michigan State University with my Masters in Social Work has given me the opportunity to work in such a rewarding field allowing me to walk beside those seeking a brighter life.

Hi! I enjoy working with adults and young adults, specializing in ADHD, Anxiety Disorders, Autism Spectrum disorders, behavior challenges, career planning, college adjustments, communication skills, Depression, emotional regulation challenges, giftedness, grief and loss, social skills training, and trauma.

I believe that therapy is a safe and non-judgmental place for clients to explore what is most important to them. It is important to me to relate to clients as whole people, who are much more than the concerns they bring to session, but people with unique identities, experiences, relationships, communities, and strengths. Keeping all of these in mind helps me offer personalized guidance, support, and perspective that ultimately serves client’s own goals. It is truly an honor to witness these various facets of individuals, and I am dedicated to bringing the warmth, respect, and support that clients deserve in turn. My past experiences have been in community settings working with women diverted from the criminal justice system for substance use disorder treatment and working with people with severe and persistent mental illness. Outside of the mental health/behavioral health field, I have experience supporting elderly persons with dementia and doing research with chronic pain populations along with LGBTQ+ populations.

As a Sport Psychology Therapist, I help athletes, performers, and high-achieving individuals develop the mental skills needed to perform at their best while supporting their overall mental well-being. Whether you're working through performance anxiety, confidence issues, perfectionism, injury recovery, burnout, or balancing the demands of competition and everyday life, I provide evidence-based strategies tailored to your unique goals. My approach combines mental performance training with clinical counseling to help clients build resilience, strengthen confidence, and perform with greater consistency, both in sport and beyond.

My therapeutic style is an integrative one that utilizes a variety of tools to help create understanding, comprehension, solutions and/or shifts to achieve relief and healing. My therapeutic approach, while empathetic and compassionate, is lovingly direct, helping to increase clarity and reduce confusion in what is often a confusing time in one’s life, when seeking out therapy. My passion is helping to create the shift from suffering to empowerment to allow you to move forward in the world, with tools learned through therapy, and thereafter, in the rest of your life. As a psychotherapist, I’ve worked with a wide variety of issues, including anxiety, depression, life adjustments, loss and grief, abandonment, trauma, inner child work, self-empowerment and relationship issues.

My name is Renee Rose. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, Registered Art Therapist and Certified Perinatal Mental Health Provider. I have extensive trauma training and experience working with individuals and families. I specialize in working with women during and after pregnancy. I also enjoy supporting people with anxiety and depression symptoms as well as people that are having difficulty in relationships (making and keeping friendships or intimate relationships, communication issues and/or difficulty setting boundaries with self or others).

You might be a good fit for working with me I if you’re feeling overwhelmed, stressed, anxious, or carrying around stuff from your past that still shows up in your day-to-day life. Maybe you’ve been through hard or confusing experiences and aren’t sure how to talk about them yet. Therapy with me isn’t “one-size-fits-all” — we go at your pace and figure out what actually works for you. I focus on helping students feel safer in their bodies, understand their emotions, and build real coping skills they can use outside of sessions. I also love incorporating animals into therapy when appropriate, because they can help make the process feel more comfortable, grounding, and a little less intimidating. If you’re looking for a supportive, down-to-earth space where you can be yourself, you’re in the right place.

Hi, I'm so glad you decided to ask for help! You probably experience lots of stress, between work and school, and other life commitments.

I would love to help you become more of who you want to be, and live a happier, more carefree lifestyle.

Hi! I am an EMDR-Certified and AASECT-Certified Sex Therapist with a specialization in working with college students (both "traditional" and "non-traditional"). I deeply enjoy getting to work with folks who are looking to address challenges they might be experiencing in their relationships: their relationships to partners, friends, family members, and importantly, to themselves. Many life experiences may lead us to feel in disconnection with ourselves: whether you have experienced relational or institutional trauma, are navigating multiple life transitions (e.g. beginning a new degree, receiving a new medical diagnosis), or are exploring social, sexual or gender identity, I am here to help you reconnect with yourself and take steps forward in your healing journey.

Navigating the world can be stressful and our stress responses can impact us on multiple levels. As a therapist, I strive to create a therapeutic environment that is trauma-informed AND resilience-informed, moving people from a place of despair to hope. I have experience working with those navigating anxiety/depression, stress and burnout, grief, and trauma. While trauma and stress may be ever-present, I invite you to consider what else is also true. Cultivating resilience helps build the capacity to hold the complexities of life, and integrating the mind and body allows one to respond intentionally and live more fully. Approaching the therapeutic journey with curiosity and intention, I utilize a creative and holistic approach to work collaboratively with people ready to experience a change. I offer empathetic and client-centered counseling that helps one find deepened awareness, compassion, connection, and movement toward resilient transformation. I honor the sacredness of this work and the client-therapist relationship. I seek to create an inclusive brave/safe space for you to explore your concerns with curiosity, acceptance, and compassion. Regardless of what you bring into the room, I am committed to taking the journey with you, and welcome the opportunity to join you in this work.
