Renee Erb, Student Intern

I am a Marriage and Family Therapy intern who works with individuals, couples, and families as they navigate anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, identity, neurodivergence, trauma, and the many transitions that come with life. I believe therapy should be a place where you can be yourself, feel heard, and talk about the things that may be difficult to share anywhere else.

My approach is collaborative and person-centered. I don't believe there is one “right” way to do therapy or that you need to have everything figured out before you walk through the door. I want to meet you where you are and work together to figure out what you need. Whether that means understanding yourself a little better, learning ways to cope with difficult emotions, working through relationship patterns, or simply having a space where someone truly listens, we can start there.

I have a particular interest in working with LGBTQIA+ individuals and families, neurodivergent individuals, first responders, and people who are trying to find their footing during difficult or unexpected life changes. I enjoy helping people explore the parts of themselves or their experiences that they may have felt misunderstood or judged for, and I strive to create a space where you don't have to explain or defend who you are.

Before becoming a therapist, I worked in law enforcement and dispatch. Those experiences taught me a lot about staying calm during difficult situations and supporting people through some of the hardest moments of their lives. They also gave me a personal understanding of some of the pressures that come with working in law enforcement, dispatch, and other first responder roles, and they are a big part of why I enjoy working with this population.

I have also worked with children and adults with disabilities, which has taught me the importance of patience, flexibility, and finding ways to communicate that work for each individual. I believe therapy should fit the person—not the other way around.

Starting therapy can feel intimidating, especially if you aren't sure what to expect or even where to begin. You don't have to have the right words or know exactly what you need. You just have to start where you are. My hope is that, together, we can create a space where you feel comfortable being yourself, understand yourself a little more, and find ways to move forward that feel right for you.
