Hi! I'm Dr. Renee Clauselle. I'm a down to earth psychologist that has been in practice for over 20 years. I am passionate about my client's personal growth. My specialties include, but are not limited to treatment of anxiety, depression, life transitions, attachment styles, self worth, parenting, and more. I'm a former professor at St. John's University and a media psychologist for GMA. Check out some of my appearances on Youtube @dr.reneeclauselle1571.
I specialize in working with clients who feel stuck in patterns they can recognize but struggle to change, such as overthinking, repeating unhealthy relationship dynamics, difficulty regulating emotions, or feeling overwhelmed despite “knowing better.” Many have done therapy before and have insight, but want support translating that awareness into real, lasting shifts. My approach integrates psychotherapy with somatic work to help regulate and rewire the nervous system so change is not just understood but experienced. For clients who feel blocked or unable to move forward, I also offer emerging neurofeedback to support deeper brain based change and neuroplasticity. I work with diverse populations and tailor treatment to meet each client where they are while guiding them toward meaningful, sustainable growth.
I am a licensed psychologist with 20 years of experience providing therapy to adults. I specialize in helping people feel more confident in themselves and in their relationships.
People often work with me in times of change such as a break up or a new relationship, job stress, parenting, or a new stage in life. I also enjoy working with women experiencing perinatal issues and caregivers/care partners of loved ones with dementia or Alzheimer's Disease.
I earned both my Bachelor of Social Work and Master of Social Work Degrees from Adelphi University in Garden City, New York. I am licensed in the state of New York. I am a dedicated professional with a passion for working with individuals, couples, and families.
I am board certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner who specializes in adolescent and young adult psychiatry. I obtained my Master of Science in Nursing degree from Nova Southeastern University with specialized training in psychiatry. For the last five year I have held various leadership positions for a local residential treatment center for teens that specializes in complex trauma treatment.

“I’m Kimberly Covington, a trauma-informed therapist and coach with over 13 years of experience helping individuals navigate anxiety, trauma, and life transitions.
Because at the end of the day—peace over pressure.”
I’m a psychiatrist who specializes in providing integrative care to foster inner discovery and facilitate tangible change for all of my patients. To me, this means utilizing evidence-based psychotherapeutic methods with medication management as appropriate for achieving personal goals and inner wellness.
There is something different about talking to someone who actually understands your world. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, life transitions, and challenges with identity and how they see themselves, and I offer sessions in both English and Haitian Creole. I bring particular care to clients from Haitian and Caribbean backgrounds and to women navigating the emotional weight of motherhood, loss, and everything in between. With more than 15 years of experience, I have seen what becomes possible when people feel genuinely seen and free to show up exactly as they are.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an LGBTQIA+ Therapist in Lakeland, FL
Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Lakeland starts with identifying someone who offers identity-affirming care and has experience with the concerns you want support for. You may want help related to identity, relationships, family dynamics, anxiety, depression, trauma, or gender-related stress. Look for therapists who mention affirmative therapy, WPATH training, gender-diverse experience, or LGBTQIA+-affirming care in their profiles. These details can help you find someone whose training and listed specialties match what you want to address.
In a smaller city like Lakeland, the number of local therapists with clear LGBTQIA+ experience may be more limited than in larger metro areas. Virtual therapy can expand your options while still giving you access to care from home. As you compare therapists, consider appointment availability, whether they are accepting new patients, and whether their background or approach feels relevant to you. Reading bios before booking can help you see how each therapist describes their communication style, experience with LGBTQIA+ populations, and what sessions may look like.
Therapy in Lakeland can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs, and Headway helps you check your coverage before you book. You can compare therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, review estimated out-of-pocket costs, and choose between virtual and in-person appointments. From there, you can browse profiles, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
