I'm happy you are here! I hope that by scheduling your first session, you already begin to feel some relief.
I work with people who are ready to better understand themselves, navigate life’s stressors, and grow toward their ideal lives.
My clients often come to me seeking support with:
*Managing stress and anxiety
*Learning new tools for effectively communicating and setting boundaries
*Enhancing romantic or family relationships or processing break ups or dating challenges
*Managing burnout
*Healing from trauma, post-traumatic stress and grief
*Improving self-worth and confidence
*Embracing neurodivergence (ADHD, Autism, CPTSD)
*Advancing their careers or in processing job loss
*Navigating parenting challenges
*Exploring personal identity and experiences
*Women focused experiences
*Navigating life as a college student or emerging adult
My approach is strength-based and solution-focused, which means we’ll center our work on who you are, what matters to you, and where you want to go. Together, we’ll identify what’s currently getting in the way and build a practical, personalized path forward.
I draw from evidence-based models and interventions that address anxiety, trauma, mood concerns, neurodivergence, family and relationship dynamics, parenting, and stress. Sessions are collaborative, active, and focused on helping you reach meaningful, lasting results.
Many of my clients meet their short-term goals within 4–12 sessions. Others choose to work longer-term to dive deeper into trauma recovery, identity development, and personal growth. However you choose to engage, our time together will be purposeful, supportive, and empowering-this space is just for you!
You deserve a life that feels authentic, grounded, clear and hopeful.
Let’s start building it together!
With gratitude,
Renee Joyce

Renee Joyce is a wonderful therapist. She always starts the session on time and gives quick but thoughtful responses. She encourages me to share my insights but also pushes me in the right direction. I might just be an open book, but I never feel pressured to share things I'm not ready to. I cannot recommend her enough.

I’ve had a really good experience working with Renee, even after just a couple of sessions. She quickly identified the root of my challenges, something I hadn’t realized during months of previous therapy. Renee suggested that I consider working with an in-person therapist for my specific issues, which she believes will likely be more effective for me. I appreciate her structured approach, as she assigns tasks and homework after each session, helping me stay organized in my progress. She’s also very personable and understanding, creating a safe space for me to share my vulnerabilities. I highly recommend her!

Renee is so compassionate in her approach to therapy. She is a phenomenal cheerleader while able to ask questions and direct me in ways that lead me toward my goals. If you need someone in your life who can encourage you, will not be judgmental, and has a wealth of knowledge to help you in combating effects of trauma, I would highly recommend spending a session with her.

After having had a few negative experiences with therapy (not on this platform) I was thrilled to connect with Renee. She's been extremely supportive and has helped me develop coping strategies for a variety of areas. I feel more confident when dealing with my ex-husband, as well as when navigating new relationships. I even made it through a school performance with my ex and his new wife with very low levels of anxiety by using what I've learned in sessions!

Renee has been our "relationship coach" for many months now and we couldn't imagine anyone else better. She's warm, compassionate, smart, and intuitive. She's not just a good listener, she makes connections between pieces of underlying psychological "mess" in ways that help us learn about ourselves and each other. She gives us homework to encourage awareness, connection, love, and fulfillment in our couplehood. If I could give her 100 stars, I would.

I have been in an out of therapy for 22 years and while I've had great therapists over the years I've never felt so heard and validated as I have since seeing Renee. She is flexible and very accommodating with her scheduling.
Not only does she have excellent communication in our session but also outside our sessions in the chat option provided through Better Help. She creates a safe space to foster genuine vulnerability and rawness but also empowering you and get you to the root of what you're seeking with so much intention. Every session I have with her there is a breakthrough or a moment where I reach a very important skillset I need to refocus on and improve. I cannot reccomend her enough and hope for more and more progress in my mental health as I continue to see her.

Written on Dec 15, 2021 after therapy with Renee for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, and trauma and abuse
As a man attempting therapy for not the first time, Renee brings a lot of things to the table. First of all, she understands that I don't want nebulous concepts that are unattached to actionable items, and consistently provides me with clear-cut homework that I can either complete or not complete, with no real gray area in that regard. She's also absurdly accessible via messaging, often reviewing or responding to non-urgent messages at 11pm or later (sometimes after midnight). In terms of doing therapy to make progress rather than to "go to therapy," Renee makes that very achievable in a clear-cut fashion. I would and will recommend her whole-heartedly.
