15 Reviews

“My therapist listens without judgment and creates a space where I feel truly heard. She asks thoughtful questions that help me think deeper instead of making assumptions or telling me how I feel. I really appreciate that she lets me come to my own conclusions while still guiding the conversation in a meaningful way. It’s made a big difference for me.”

“I have a lot of social anxiety and overall anxiety about everything. Yet, when I meet with Renee online, I feel calm and open to talk. I've seen maybe 10 to 12 therapists. Most of which had their own ways of helping me, and I couldn't really do anything else. Renee listens to me and seems to try to find the best method and advice that she can. I've even had therapists drop me because I wouldn't do exactly what they wanted. I don't ever see Renee doing something like that unless someone was very crude or vulgar. I'm glad I got set up with her!”

“Renee Giegel is a therapist that I would recommend to all my friends. She is well experienced and knowledgeable about how therapy works. I just love her energy. She is really concerned about your well being and she helps you get to what’s going on with you. I just love how she listens to you. Thank you Renee.”
