Centered Counseling and Psychology, Renee Benard

Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, LLP

Accepting clients Last Updated 30 days ago

Welcome! I am a licensed master's level psychologist who provides therapy to adolescents and adults across the state of Michigan. I have over 20 years of experience as a psychotherapist working with issues such as ADHD, anxiety, depression, relationships, family issues and parenting, life skills and changes, trauma, loss / grief, as well as chronic or terminal illness. With support, encouragement, and expert insight, therapy can be the place you grow, the place you heal, or the place you learn to accept you.

I enjoy working as a therapist. It is an absolute privilege to experience your courage, your growth and your healing. A more focused passion of mine is working with people affected by cancer. I also specialize in working with caregivers, helping professionals, and educators affected by burn-out, secondary trauma, and compassion fatigue.

Come as you are. Be you. Judgment free. Respectfully. Let's do this!
