Hello, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I graduated from the University of Tennessee Knoxville in 2006. I have been in the mental health field for over 20 years. I have been an LCSW for the past 10 years. I have experience in treating trauma, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and depression. Currently, I also work at the Memphis VA Hospital in the ER as a mental health assessor.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session you can expect to tell your story. We will also work together to develop a treatment plan and make a decision on a timeframe to address your concerns. We will also set goals that are realistic, achievable, and in alignment with your desired outcomes.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My practice is built on a foundation of trust, respect, and evidence based practices. As a provider my greatest strengths are my empathy, knowledge of treatment models and theories, and my experience in the mental health field.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
Living with the effects of trauma, anxiety, and depression can be a heavy burden, but you don't have to carry this weight alone. With over 20 years of experience, I am equipped with proven techniques to help you heal. We will work together to create a personalized plan to address your unique story and goals. I want to help empower you to heal from your past wounds, strengthen your relationships, and build a more fulfilling and resilient life.

I appreciate the way. Renesa explained each component before diving in. It can be hard to release vulnerability and share certain things but she made it a safe place.

I love that Renesa was very professional and actually discussed a plan of action.

She seems very genuine and goal oriented. With a plan and knowledge. My last therapist did not provide that. I feel like you are really gonna help me.
