Hi, my name is Dr. Renée Charles. Life is a mystery. Creativity emerges in it. At the age of 7 and for half of my life, I dreamt of becoming a neurosurgeon. Now I am a Mind and Brain Ambassador, Neuro-coach, Mentor, Consultant, Author, Trainer, Speaker, and Serial Entrepreneur. I am licensed as a psychotherapist with over 30 years of clinical and administrative experience and hold an earned Ph.D. in Social, Political, and Organizational Psychology. As a culturally competent mental wellness- solution-focused therapist and licensed Evangelist, I offer secular and non-secular assistive therapy to individuals, couples, families, and leaders to achieve the highest version of themselves. I help people better understand depression, anxiety, addiction, trauma, shame, guilt, key mindset blocks, ineffective habits, and ineffective coping skills from a neuroscience framework. I possess (ICF) accreditation as a certified professional executive coach with additional coaching credentials in neuro-coaching emotional intelligence, cultural intelligence, and energy leadership coaching credentials. I am certified to administer performance personality tests for individuals and corporate groups. Leveraging my lived experience, purpose, and global reach is to help others access more of their profoundly ingrained genius to accomplish something more significant than their expectations. Graced to facilitate self-discovery, I help entrepreneurs, influencers, and ecumenical and C-suite leaders clarify intentions, create space for higher-order brain activity and achieve transformational and sustainable change.

Hello to whom this may concern
I have been working with Dr. Renee Charles since July of 2020 around 3 and a half months so far, and I am continuing sessions on a weekly to biweekly basis. I have been reading her published book, as well as working through her workbook of which she is also the creator of. I am grateful for her guidance/knowledge regarding unpacking a lot from my past, and with her assistance I have been able to identify where unresolved trauma stems from. Much of healing I have learned comes from rewiring our brain, by changing the way we think we redirect a lot of past pain in order to better manage our triggers, and to better cope with emotional responses related to past trauma. It is crucial to compartmentalize
past trauma versus present, as the past does not have to dictate our future. Healing happens neurologically and physically and any triggers related to ones past can be managed through the process of neuroplasticity. I look forward to continuing my healing journey with the help of Dr. Renee Charles. Dr. Renee Charles has been a great fit for me and her knowledge and expertise has benefited me immensely.
Kind regards
Good luck to you all on your healing journeys, you're not alone even when it feels that way.

Dr. Renee has been really helpful in not only leading me through difficult situations and giving me strategies to overcome and move through them, but explaining in a very clear matter WHY I have a default response to situations and how to program new behavioral patterns. She is genuinely caring and thoughtful, and I love that she blends neuroscience with deep listening. I very much recommend her :)
