About Renée
Hello, I'm Renée!
I am a lifelong New Orleanian who is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker-Board Approved Clinical Supervisor (LCSW-BACS). My personal health journey has led me to a deeper understanding of how interconnected our physical, mental, and emotional health is to one another. As I began to experience what initially seemed like a minor concern, it gradually spiraled into a flood of issues that impacted my physical, mental, and emotional well-being; before I knew it, I had experienced burnout and a host of other health problems. It was at this point that I truly learned the connection between our physical, mental, and emotional health; when one component is off-balance, it significantly affects the other. Through this journey, I discovered that true wellness is not about rectifying or remedying everything you feel is wrong. Instead, it is learning to grow through life amidst challenging moments while maintaining a sense of peace and purpose. We must support our health on all levels. That is why I created Reynolds Counseling and Wellness Services, LLC, to help empower others by providing support and focusing on their whole being.
I wholeheartedly believe that counseling and health and wellness coaching can be a great support in helping us maintain our mental wellness. With over 18 years of clinical experience working with individuals and families, my professional background consists of providing services to various age groups, including children, adolescents, and adults. Therapeutically, I use a blend of therapeutic techniques, including CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), MI (motivational interviewing), and SFT (solution-focused therapy).
Working from a strengths-based approach allows me to focus on utilizing your natural strengths as you develop more effective coping strategies and problem-solving skills. This approach will enable me to create an individualized plan to meet your needs. The therapeutic relationship between the client and myself is built on respect and professionalism. In collaboration, we will create a working environment in which you have a safe space to feel free to explore and express yourself without worrying; you can never say the wrong thing. It is my goal that through our services, you will find balance.
