Ms Renee Spencer

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

About Me

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Psychoanalyst, I provide a calm space to understand your relationships. We can explore long-standing patterns influencing your present. My approach helps individuals and couples navigate complex family dynamics. If you're seeking clearer communication or deeper connection, I offer a thoughtful, collaborative environment. Here, we work together to uncover lasting change and build resilience.

Approach

Sessions move at an observant, steady pace—attending to how past experiences surface in current relationships and in individual lives. I meet people in my Kentfield office and by video in English, keeping sessions predictable yet open to unexpected material. We trace emotional reactions, map interaction patterns and connect them to anxiety, mood shifts or trauma responses, using reflective listening, focused exploration and occasional between-session tasks to deepen awareness. Those seeking thoughtful, steady collaboration often find this way of working clarifying and stabilizing.
