About me
I am licensed in Florida with over 20 years of professional work experience in end of life, hospice care, as well as working with teens and young adults at the start of life. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey. I am client centered and that means you decide what we need to talk about in therapy. My goal is to cater this room to your needs and preferences.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Rene Garcell. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
I followed Rene over here from another platform where we’d been for years. He’s the first counselor I’ve ever really clicked with for my mental health. I honestly don't know if my life would be as good as it is without him giving me the tools to handle my limitations.
He also gets the grief I feel this time of year and gives great advice on how to live in the moment while still feeling it. Between November and December, I lost my sister, dad, mom, and stepmom over about seven years. Every year, Rene helps make the holidays a little easier. He also encouraged me to open up to my family about my autoimmune disease, and since I did, we’ve started having family gatherings again because they finally understand and respect my boundaries.

If you're looking for a therapist who listens and remembers, challenges, and clarifies, is helpful, kind, and available, Rene is the one for you. I've worked with Rene for many years and was dealing with major losses: the death of a spouse, parents, and a sibling, all within a short amount of time. I became very anxious and catastrophized. Rene helped me define what was normal anxiety and what was not. He helped me define catastrophic thinking and the opposite. I am a much calmer person, as he offered practical advice like possibly limiting my social media and caffeine intake. My family and friends are very happy that I am in therapy, as it has made my life happier. I'm older and single, but he reminds me I'm loved and still young in so many ways. He's a kind man who is and has been there for me. I will work with him for as long as he's available. He has changed my life for the better. I am very grateful.

He has been very attentive, thorough and empathetic. He’s really helped me understand I made the right decision. He’s not judge-mental in anyway. Expresses sincere concern for my well being

I have never felt more seen or understood by anyone. My therapist has been a savior for my mental health. Thank you Rene

Rene Garcell is absolutely amazing. I connected with him from the moment we started speaking. I felt heard, and he was super caring from the beginning of our session, all the way to the end. I highly recommend him, for anyone looking for a sweet, compassionate therapist!
