If you've made it here, then you likely have it all together on the outside, but on the inside you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or lost. You’ve read all the self-help books and listened to all the podcasts, but you still can’t make the changes you know you want and need. You feel the constant pressure to perform, which shows up as tightness in your chest and belly and clenching your jaw. You feel anxious and can’t remember the last time you felt really relaxed. You give love, grace, & understanding to others, but your inner critic is so loud and demanding, you can’t seem to convince yourself that you deserve the same love and care.

My name is Logan Renggli and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. My mission is to bring attention to the importance of mental health and to nurture strong mental health practices in our society. I plan to bring previously taboo topics to the surface and out in the open through conversation and public speaking and to normalize every day experiences that so often make us feel marginalized. My goal is to help people love themselves a little bit more and struggle a little bit less. For the past four years Logan has been working with families, individuals, and children in the private sector.

Therapy Intensives for High Achieving, Reflective Women Ready to Live with True Autonomy. You're an ambitious woman realizing the patterns that got you here can't take you forward. From the outside, things look impressive. From the inside, you're tired in a way that rest doesn't touch. The "not good enough" whisper never quite leaves. Maybe you're navigating betrayal, the erosion of a relationship, or the long shadow of a mother who couldn't show up. You've done a lot of personal work and still feel stuck between what you understand and feel and how you live.

Moms, you're touched-out, talked-out, and somehow still invisible in your own home. You've built a good life—partner, family, maybe career. But somewhere along the way, you disappeared into managing it. You show up for everyone, meet every need, optimize every system. Yet you feel unseen, untouched, like there's no you in your own marriage anymore. This is the work: finding your voice again, understanding what kept you small, and learning to love your people and yourself. This is the new foundation.

Healing can be a beautiful process, both physically and mentally. It can bring relief from pain, restore functionality, and promote a sense of well-being. It can also offer an opportunity for personal growth and self-discovery. I specialize in a holistic approach to anxiety, trauma, and behavior modification through mind and body. The philosophy of trauma-informed counseling is based on the understanding that individuals who have experienced trauma require specialized care and support. I acknowledge the impact of trauma on my clients' lives and work collaboratively with them to identify and address their individual needs and goals.

If you're feeling anxious, stuck in your head, or constantly second-guessing yourself—you're not alone. Maybe you're struggling in your relationships, feeling disconnected from your body, or battling a harsh inner critic that just won’t quiet down. You might look like you’re doing fine on the outside, but inside, it’s exhausting.

Everyone is dealing with stress, feelings if emotional discomfort, and general struggle. Unfortunately, not everyone has a safe place or person to help them process these thoughts and feelings in a way that you can get relief. There is nothing worse than being in the trenches of life and having no one there to remind you that there is a light and help you find it. No matter where you are in life, everyone needs the opportunity and the space to unpack those uncomfortable feelings and get them out. You are important and you deserve the time.

Do you feel stuck, even though you’re doing all the “right” things? Often, how we show up in the world reflects how we learned to survive in it. Deep down, we all want to feel seen, heard, and valued—but beliefs that we’re unworthy or “not enough” can leave us anxious, disconnected, or overwhelmed. Together, we’ll begin to notice, challenge and heal those old messages so you can reconnect with your most authentic, grounded self. Our work is about returning home to yourself—to a place of authenticity, self-compassion, and connection—so you can move through life with greater ease, confidence, and a renewed sense of belonging.

Many people come to therapy feeling stuck in patterns that don’t seem to change, overwhelmed by stress, or still carrying the weight of past experiences. I primarily use EMDR therapy, an evidence-based approach that helps the brain process distressing memories so they lose their emotional intensity. Therapy offers a space to slow down, reflect, and begin working through what’s been difficult. Whether you're working through trauma, anxiety, or self-limiting beliefs, our work together can help you move toward greater clarity and freedom.

Welcome! I'm really glad you're here. Life can feel like a rollercoaster, we juggle countless roles, trying to keep it all afloat, until the unexpected bumps, losses, grief, or just the weight of everyday life become too much. If that sounds familiar, you're in the right place. I believe healing happens in and through relationship. I've seen how safe connection helps us come home to ourselves, and how disconnection leaves us feeling alone and lost. Together, we can explore who you are, how you relate, and what you need to feel whole. This work takes curiosity and courage; I'm here to support both.

Trusting yourself feels harder than it used to — harder than you think it should. You’re here because your sense of self-trust feels shaken — you want to strengthen it in your relationships, your decisions, and your inner life. You understand why certain patterns exist, while your ways of relating and your body haven’t caught up to that information. You might feel hyper-alert, doubt your instincts and struggle to feel grounded. Some women come to me in the midst of betrayal trauma or relational harm. Others are in growth-oriented partnerships and want support showing up more fully, clearly, and authentically.

Women's Issues Therapists
How do you encourage a woman to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual may be suffering, and what effects it has on them, should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.

How can women prepare for therapy?
Women can prepare for therapy by being willing to talk about their past experiences and their private thoughts. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. Between sessions, it can be useful to write down notes about their reaction to a given event or how they felt at a particular time.

How long does therapy for women’s issues often last?
As with any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual and the challenges they face. Therapy types like Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Prolonged exposure therapy (PET), and Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. In some cases, such as for women with eating disorders, residential treatment may be recommended for an individual who is judged to be at high risk of self-harm. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.

How can women overcome stigma around specific challenges in order to seek therapy?
Women dealing with domestic abuse, sexual assault, eating disorders, and any other number of troubles may feel a stigma around seeking help. It’s important to remember that these issues are not uncommon and there is no shame in getting help for them. Therapy is confidential, and women can talk about their experiences without fear of judgment. Seeking therapy can be a courageous and liberating act, and an important step toward healing and recovery.
