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.

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.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Troy, NY
Searching for therapists in Troy starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which therapist may fit your needs. People look for therapy in Troy for many reasons, including anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, work stress, and life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for training, listed specialties, and therapy approaches that match what you want to focus on. A therapist’s bio can also show how they structure sessions, communicate, and describe their approach to care.
In a smaller city like Troy, local in-person options may be more limited, so virtual therapy can help expand your search across New York. Some people prefer meeting in an office nearby, while others choose virtual appointments to better fit their schedule. As you narrow your options, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you compare specialties, session style, and practical details in one place.
Therapy in Troy can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated cost before you book. Headway makes it easier to find therapists who take insurance, are accepting new clients, and offer in-person or virtual care. You can browse therapists in Troy, review bios, check your coverage, and book directly when you’re ready.
