Helping You Heal from the Inside Out
Renewed Minds Therapy Services specializes in treating childhood trauma, anxiety, depression, PTSD, and addiction through compassionate, goal-focused care. We offer virtual therapy sessions and in-person group sessions, including art therapy and grief support groups, to help you process pain, express emotions, and find peace. Whether you're starting your healing journey or ready to go deeper, we're here to help you renew your mind and reclaim your life.
We help clients manage anxiety by combining compassionate support with practical, evidence-based tools. Using approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and grounding techniques, we work together to identify triggers, challenge anxious thought patterns, and develop coping strategies that reduce overwhelming worry, fear, and physical symptoms. Whether anxiety stems from trauma, life transitions, or daily stress, we create a safe space for healing and provide the guidance needed to restore balance, build confidence, and regain control.
At Renewed Minds Therapy Services, we support clients struggling with depression by offering a nonjudgmental space to explore their emotions and regain a sense of purpose. Our approach focuses on identifying the root causes of depressive symptoms, challenging negative thought patterns, and building daily habits that promote motivation and emotional wellness. We walk alongside clients as they rediscover their strengths and reconnect with joy and hope.
We provide compassionate, structured support for individuals living with PTSD. Our therapists use trauma-informed, evidence-based interventions to help clients process traumatic experiences without becoming overwhelmed. By focusing on emotional regulation, body awareness, and cognitive reframing, we guide clients toward a sense of safety, reduced symptoms, and a renewed ability to engage fully in life.
Our approach to addiction is rooted in understanding, not judgment. We help clients explore the emotional pain, trauma, and life circumstances that often drive addictive behaviors. Through individualized treatment plans, relapse prevention strategies, and trauma-informed therapy, we support clients in developing healthier coping mechanisms, rebuilding their lives, and maintaining long-term recovery.
At Renewed Minds Therapy Services, we help couples and individuals navigate the challenges of relationships with clarity, compassion, and effective communication strategies. Whether you're working through conflict, trust issues, or emotional disconnect, we create a supportive space to explore patterns, rebuild connection, and strengthen your partnership.
We offer a well-rounded approach to managing stress through individual therapy, in-person stress management classes, and a collection of books and workbooks authored by our founder, Terri McColl. Clients learn practical strategies for emotional regulation, mindfulness, and daily balance, with tools they can apply both inside and outside of sessions. Whether you're coping with daily pressures or long-term burnout, we’re here to help you find calm, clarity, and control.
