Renee Joyce, CO LMFT MFT.0001482

Hello!

You are doing great by getting started in therapy! I hope you start to feel a bit better now that you’ve taken this next step in your healing and recovery journey.

My name is Renee and I am passionate about working with clients who feel overwhelmed, stuck, burned out and who feel like they just need a break in life or clarity for what to do next.

Most of my clients have experienced trauma, anxiety, fatigue, stress, and overwhelm and many have been fighting so hard for things to feel different within themselves, their relationships, work, family or other areas of their lives.

Clients initially describe experiencing one or more of the following:

*Crash Outs, Lash Outs

*High anxiety, rumination, spiraling or overthinking, panic, deep fear of making a mistake or letting others down or not being accepted

*Difficulty focusing or staying motivated, wanting to get ALL the things done yet it is feels hard to start with just one

*Emotional overwhelm with trying to do everything and feeling like there is not enough time, energy or support

*Compassion fatigue, vicarious trauma or grief from work or caregiving (teachers, veterinarians, vet techs, nurses, doctors, dentists, dental assistants, EMTs, school counselors, first responders, foster parents, start ups, non-profits, rescues, etc.).

*Wanting to strengthen relationships yet conflict, trauma reactions or stressors get in the way

*Trauma flashbacks, memories, nightmares, triggers, feeling stuck in fight, flight or freeze mode

*High people pleasing efforts yet still feeling hurt lonely or dissatisfied in friendships, family or relationships

*Shame-deep shame or guilt, fear of failure, not feeling like “enough” or feeling like “too much”

*Stuck in a survival pattern of work/school, eat, sleep, repeat and wanting more out of life

*Recent grief in pet loss

If you related to any of those experiences, please book your first appointment with me!

I believe people can grow, heal, change with the right tools, skills, supports and time.

My approach is strength-based, client-centered and I incorporate evidenced based techniques and resources to help you along your path forward. We explore why you feel this way, how to stop cycles and what to do to feel better.

Many clients work on short-term goals to experience relief or improvement within 4-12 sessions. Several clients also continue deeper work for longer term therapy to strengthen personal development, self-understanding, trauma recovery and more.

My primary areas of focus are in: ADHD, Anxiety, Attachment, Autism, Break ups, Burnout (at work, school or parenting), Conflict in relationships, Communication, CPTSD, Dating, Divorce or Separation, Complex Grief and Bereavement, Neurodivergence, PTSD, Stress, Sensory Overwhelm, Trauma; and, Adults with dysfunctional or toxic parents or family. I work with persons aged 18 and beyond through individual tele-health therapy.

I look forward to learning more about you and in working with you to support your goals!

With gratitude,

Renee Joyce
