Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Jackson, MI covered by Cigna

I hold a Master’s degree in Marriage & Family Therapy and a Bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice, and I have been working in the mental health field since 2013. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and Licensed Limited Professional Counselor (LLPC) in the state of Michigan.

Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to work across both private and public sectors with individuals and families navigating a wide range of experiences, including involvement with the criminal justice system, Child Protective Services (CPS), juvenile residential care, and private practice.

I genuinely love working with individuals, couples, and families. I believe we ALL have a story to tell, and each of our journeys is unique. The experiences we have along the way shape who we are and can sometimes lead us to therapy—not to be judged, but to be heard, understood, supported, and reminded that we are human.

Therapy with me allows a space where you can show up as you are, explore your story, and work toward the life and relationships you desire.

I would be honored to be a part of your journey. ❤️

Welcome—I’m glad you’re here. Choosing to seek support is an act of courage, and your future self will thank you for showing yourself kindness today. My name is Renee. I graduated from University of Southern California School of Social Work in 2014. I specialize in working with individuals carrying the weight of significant trauma, addictions, unresolved grief, and painful life experiences that can feel isolating or overwhelming. I support those who struggle with trust after unhealthy relationships, major life transitions, or who have turned to alcohol or other substances to cope with emotional pain.

I also work with individuals healing from addiction, substance use, and mental health challenges, and I have experience supporting military families as they navigate the unique barriers of having a loved one in the military, as well as serving Veterans. My goal is to offer a supportive space for healing, connection, and meaningful change.

I am a empathic counselor who has worked with numerous clients in areas of parenting, couple counseling, anxiety, depression, trauma, domestic violence. I understand that life's challenges can be painful and often linger and I offer hope and healing in my work.

I've built my career around sitting with people through some of life's hardest moments — it's work I still find deeply meaningful. I'm Susan, a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) with an MSW from the University of Michigan, offering telehealth therapy to adolescents, adults, and seniors throughout Michigan. I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, grief, bipolar disorder, borderline personality, and more — bringing a strengths-based lens to every session.

I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 13 years of experience in behavioral health, including more than a decade as a psychiatric registered nurse. I earned my post-master’s certificate in Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing from the University of Cincinnati and hold a Master of Science in Nursing with a focus in Clinical Nurse Specialist and Nursing Education from the University of Detroit Mercy.

I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults from diverse backgrounds in outpatient, residential, correctional, and community-based settings. My areas of focus include depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, mood disorders, PTSD, schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders.

I believe mental health care should be collaborative, respectful, and individualized. My goal is to create a comfortable, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, understand your treatment options, and feel empowered to take an active role in your mental health and overall well-being.
