Renae Carapella-Johnson, LMHC

Making the decision to seek counseling is a courageous one. We can lose sight of our light when we experience painful life events, losses or become disconnected from ourselves and those we love as a result of depression, anxiety or the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Our light can also be diminished by the lies we are told about our self-worth that can eventually become our own inner critic, often a shame-based voice that convinces us we are not enough in some capacity. At Ray of Light Counseling and Consulting, I will guide you on a journey of reconnecting with yourself, with your own inner light.

With nearly 15 years of experience, I have expertise in the areas of trauma & suicide. I am passionate about helping people heal, find hope & uncover their own mighty ray of light. I use a person-centered approach and a variety of tools and modalities, including Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) to guide people on their journey of healing.
I am also passionate about supporting people in developing a self-compassionate inner voice, one that challenges the lies a person has been told about their worth and value. I strive to help people not only feel ‘good enough,’ but to recognize their inner strengths and to know that the answers and guidance they seek truly comes from within.
