She has worked with all ages from 4 years to 56 years old. She enjoys the challenge of working with high-risk clients in the hopes of facilitating behavioral change. Renee’s counseling style is very warm and non-judgmental in her efforts to empathize with the individual client’s needs. She uses Cogivitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused and Reality Therapy to encourage clients to make more positive decisions in their daily lives. She also uses a combination of play and art techniques when it is beneficial to her client’s progress. Renee believes it is a very collaborative effort between therapist and client and most importantly is the warm and positive relationship that forms in the process.
