Renee Burgard

“I specialize in mindfulness-based psychotherapy and stress reduction, and offer a warm and non-judging approach for helping people to reduce their suffering and increase their happiness and ease in living. I especially enjoy working with people who have had difficulty finding help: including people with chronic pain, intense anxiety, panic, depression, infertility, post-traumatic stress, seizure disorders (including atypical seizures) and people with chronic medical conditions. Interactive guided imagery; and instruction in breathing, body scanning, emotional regulation, mindful yoga & meditation; and compassion, acceptance, and loving-kindness practices are available for those who are interested.

I offer psychotherapy, consultation, and/or classes, depending on your preferences and needs. My sessions are 75 - 90 minutes long, to allow time for body-oriented practices (breathing, yoga, meditation, as desired). Supervising clinical LCSW and MFT interns is something I offer and enjoy very much.

My background includes extensive work in behavioral & integrative medicine, psychotherapy, teaching, brain & spinal cord injury rehabilitation; and broad education in mind-body medicine, psychology, neuroscience, basic science, and physical & psychological diagnosis. I enjoy learning through close collaborations with physicians in many specialties, and by continuing academic studies.”
