Hello, my name is LaVonne Renno, and I am a LPCC. In my sessions, you will find a combination of ACT therapy, Reality therapy, mindfulness, and Insight. I believe that through these processes, we are able to delve into the issues and work on changing practices and thoughts in order to cope with and decrease symptoms. I look at clients typically who are struggling with communication issues, anxiety, depression, low sense of self, or struggling with job satisfaction. I typically work with young adults to those in middle age.

Bienvenidos/Welcome! I am a bilingual/bicultural Spanish-speaking therapist located in the East Bay area of California. I have been working with children, teens, and adults of color struggling with an array of concerns including anxiety, depression, relationship satisfaction, life purpose, trauma, postpartum depression, and spirituality, related to life transitions, family stress, trauma, and grief. Although my work has focused on the unique needs of minorities and underrepresented individuals, being a member of that community is certainly not a requirement for your personal development.

Choosing a therapist is often an overwhelming ordeal. How do you know who to choose? What can you expect from this experience? Being vulnerable emotionally often feels intimidating. At the root of it, regardless of their individual issues, most people are simply struggling to be themselves. The human condition yearns for authenticity.... to be the best we can be, to be known and accepted, especially by one's self. I provide a use of humor and a non-judgmental yet reality based environment where authenticity can be safely built at your own pace. You will then be able to realize the path that is best for you.
