Renay Burger

Therapist

Virtual • Arizona


Hello--I'm Renay.

After studying and working as a child, relationship, and family therapist for the past 10 years, and a middle school and high school English teacher for the 10 years prior to that, I think it's safe to say that I've immersed myself into helping explore and rebuild the lives, stories, and social structures of humans for the whole of my professional career.

We are all storied people, and learning from our narratives can be one of the greatest lessons we ever learn. For many, embarking on that adventure is terrifying.

Consider me your docent into the uncomfortable and your guide along the journey.

I recognize how hard change is and you deserve to thrive. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing independently since 2014 and have over 20 years of experience in the behavioral health field. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of who you are becoming, therapy can give a supportive place to make sense of what you’re experiencing and move forward more confidently. I work with adults navigating life transitions in education, career, relationships, family, health and environment, and identity exploration and reinvention and all that comes with learning to adapt. In our work together, you’ll be met warmly through curiosity and acceptance. I’ll help you identify and rewrite self-limiting patterns, build practical self-regulation skills, and develop healthier ways to adapt to change, so you can feel more grounded and empowered.
