Renita Dyal, LMHC- Associate Therapist

---

Do you feel sad or hopeless? Are you struggling with the loss of a loved one? Have you been in an abusive relationship and you’re trying to find yourself again? Are you transitioning to a different stage in life and trying to figure things out? Have you been experiencing some challenges with relationships and/or family members? Are you looking to build an emotionally strong foundation for yourself? Are you exploring steps towards self-love/acceptance?

If you answered yes to anything above, then that’s the reason why I’ve become a therapist! I am here to help guide you through the tunnel as we find the light that sparks you. 

It is my goal to provide individuals with a warm empathetic environment that allows them to freely express themselves and allows for a safe space to have their voices heard. As humans, we have many different emotions; but sometimes we’re unsure how to manage them. Together, we will identify what those emotions look like for you and how to manage them; we always want to embrace, accept, and never avoid. 

Therapy can be an overwhelming but rewarding experience. I want to assure you, that you are not alone. I will be on this journey with you to help accomplish the personal and/or professional goals that you have set for yourself. 

A few quotes to leave you with: 

“You’re braver than you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you think.” – Pooh, Winnie-The-Pooh.
