About us

MS, LPC, LMHC, CST

Rena Brisentine

I am an AASECT-certified mental health, sex, and relationship therapist with over a decade of experience. I offer supportive therapeutic sessions to all genders, orientations, and consensual relationship organizations.

Esther Perel states that “love rests on two pillars, surrender and autonomy… our need for togetherness exists alongside our need for separateness.” As a relationship therapist, I value supporting you in all things relationship: your relationship with yourself, with the world, with a significant other or others, or with family.

I use an eclectic and compassionate approach to work with you on your unique goals. I integrate evidence-based techniques including cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness practices, EMDR, and psychodynamic approaches tailored to your unique needs and personality.

I work with all consensual relationship organizations, all genders, and all orientations. My practice is a creative, inclusive environment where judgment is suspended and the highest standard of care is applied.

MY VALUES

Creating a Safe Space

My approach is warm, down-to-earth, and infused with genuine care. I believe in creating a non-judgmental therapeutic environment where you can freely express yourself and explore the root causes of your struggles.

Whether your needs are solution-focused or insight-oriented, I’m honored to assist you. I work best with clients who value consent, are open to new perspectives, and are prepared for active effort outside of the therapy hour to practice skills and reflect.

My goal is to help you develop the tools, insights, and self-awareness necessary for lasting change and genuine personal growth. Every person’s journey is different, and I honor that by adapting my approach to what works best for you.
