RENEE MACLEOD, MSW, LSWAIC
I work with adults and adolescents navigating life transitions, anxiety, depression, burnout, stress, and uncertainty about what comes next. Whether you are carrying more than you can sort through alone, adjusting to a meaningful change, or feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, therapy can offer a space to pause, make sense of your experience, and move forward with greater clarity.
I have a heart for neurodivergence, including ADHD and autism. I support neurodivergent adults and adolescents, as well as parents and caregivers of neurodivergent children who are balancing advocacy within school, medical, and family systems while also tending to their own well-being.
Before becoming a therapist, I spent many years in leadership roles in corporate and tech environments. That experience shapes my understanding of how external pressures, expectations, and major transitions can affect our well-being and sense of self. My background in diversity, equity, and inclusion also informs my commitment to providing culturally responsive, welcoming, and affirming care for people with marginalized or intersecting identities, including LGBTQ+ communities.
My approach is warm, practical, and human-centered. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), along with person-centered, relational, strengths-based, compassion-focused, and emotionally focused approaches. Together, we’ll make sense of what you’re experiencing, explore patterns in your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and build tools that fit your life. My hope is to help you create more room for self-compassion, flexibility, and what matters most to you.
