When you or your teen are feeling scared, depressed, angry, or like you just don’t fit in, it can be really challenging. Reaching out for help can be difficult, but it is the first step on the path toward healing. I aim to provide a warm, inviting environment in which you feel comfortable teaching me about you. By collaborating with you, I will help you develop the tools and skills you need to solve your problems now, and to solve them as they come in the future.

I am a clinical psychologist who is passionate about my work with children, teens, and adults. I prefer to take a relational, client-centered approach to psychotherapy and strive to create a safe, non-judgmental, collaborative environment where my clients can be empowered to create positive change and to live better and more meaningful lives. I also come with years of experience working with families. In additional to my clinical work, I also provide forensic psychological assessments (immigration, personal injury, social investigations) and psychoeducational and educational testing for learning differences, autism, and ADHD.

I believe an individualized treatment plan tailored to meet the specific needs of each client. I specialize in depression, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, trauma, post-traumatic stress disorder, relationship issues, self-esteem, peer relationships, anger management, codependency, coping skills, eating disorders, grief, women’s issues, children, family conflict, gender identity, gender dysphoria, and military families. My belief is that therapy should be a positive experience of growth for each individual and I encourage clients to collaborate with me as treatment progresses.

Going to talk to somebody about relationships, emotions, and feelings can be new territory for some. It’s hard to share our most private thoughts and experiences with people we don’t know. However, it’s often easier to share with those people that are objective and aren’t in your inner circle like a therapist. Life has gotten even more complex with Covid bringing an increase in fear, stress, anxiety, grief, and suicide. I can offer you 20+ years of experience in multiple areas and modalities of therapy. I’d be happy to chat with you for a few moments to answer any of your questions and to listen to see how I may be of help to you

Everyone has moments where life's challenges can be overwhelming and feel like they are too much to handle. During these times choosing a therapist for yourself or loved one can be a very important decision. I am dedicated to providing quality, professional, and compassionate services in a safe supportive environment. I cover a wide variety of issues for children, adolescents, parents, individuals, and couples. I also offer an eclectic combination of therapeutic approaches. I take a client centered approach to ensure a coordinated effort in hopes of providing clients an improvement in quality of life, opportunity for growth, and a new found hope.

At times individuals or couples struggle with personal issues that may leave you feeling confused, frustrated, powerless, or unsure of what steps to take next. I believe that therapists and clients work together to figure out the best solution to your problems. My job is to provide a safe and caring environment where I foster your ability to find new solutions. I have been working in the mental health field since 1997. I work with couples, individuals, families, and teenagers.

Mr Renaud considered a subject matter expert in the areas of adolescent substance use disorder and it impacts on the family . He consults with and provides expert testimony to the Florida Juvenile justice Association, the circuit four advisory council for juvenile justice, Adolescent drug court, Duval County teen court, juvenile court, Local news affiliates, as well as northeast Florida System of Care. In 2018 Mr Renaud was asked to join The Florida Behavioral Health Association as a consultant to the adolescent behavioral health division.

While working from a person-centered approach, I utilize Cognitive-Behavioral therapy, Emotion-Focused Therapy, Solution-Focused therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy techniques to empower and help individuals in areas including family conflict and relationship issues, trauma, and emotional and behavioral issues including depression, anxiety, mood dysregulation, low self-esteem, communication, and social issues. I offer long-term and short-term psychotherapy for children, teens, and adults.

I am a Registered Clinical Social Work Intern in the state of Florida who helps individuals, families, and communities cope with life's obstacles and relational conflicts to work towards thriving instead of surviving. I earned a Master of Social Work (MSW) from Tulane University. I also have a Mental Health, Addiction, and the Family Certificate. Small issues turn into larger issues if they are not resolved properly. I do this work to provide access and awareness to populations who seldom take advantage of life-changing solutions that therapy and coaching offer.

Albert Einstein once said, “The measure of intelligence is the ability to change.” If you are seeking to make lasting change then I encourage you to find a trained professional. Family can give advice, friends can listen, but a licensed therapist can give you help to overcome your situation. It may sound like a cliché but Michael Jackson was right, “You are not alone” and you are not. Let us walk with you to help with your relationship roller coaster, family fall-out, as you go through grief, turmoil with your teen or child, or rebuild from a bad break-up.
