Dr Will Renzema
Hi, I am a Marriage and Family Therapist licensed in California for 20 years and I hold a doctorate degree in the Philosophy of Counseling. I am in my second marriage for 30 years now, after my 24-year first marriage failed. We have seven children between the two of us, 31 grandchildren, and 7 great-grandchildren.
I have had good success counseling couples who have given up on their relationship, especially those who have experienced infidelity.
I have had good success counseling couples who have given up on their relationship, especially those who have experienced infidelity. I don't counsel children until they are 18. I enjoy helping people understand how they became the way they are and therefore find ways to leave dysfunction behind.
First session
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Strengths
Previous clients have said the knowledge shared with them, and the options we explored together, which they would never have thought of, helped them deal more successfully with the challenges they were facing. Many say my style is gentle and understanding.
Ideal clients
If life has thrown you a few curves and you need to find ways to avoid their negative consequences, I would love to help you sort that through. I would help you find better alternatives of ways to deal with life than those that are not working well now. This is especially true if you are dealing with grief and loss. Dealing with divorce has been an important part of my services.
Treatment methods
Christian Counseling
When a client has Christian Beliefs, those will be accepted as resources to help the client resolve their issues at hand.
Psychoeducation
Often getting an explanation of what is happening psychologically, can assist in mitigating the cause of mental health issues.
Couples Counseling
Often with couples, changing how communication is handled between the two resolves the majority of relationship issues.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
Understanding the power of emotions and using that power to better resolve mental health issues eases mental health issues.
