Welcome.
Something brought you here. Maybe you’re navigating a difficult season, feeling stuck in patterns you can’t quite shift, or simply ready to understand yourself more deeply. Whatever brought you to this moment, you are welcome here.
I’m Willow Renée, an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT #155747) and Associate Professional Clinical Counselor (APCC #20389), working online with adults, teens, couples, and families throughout California, under the supervision of Robert Steffke, LMFT #90265 at Lichen Health.
Who I Work With.
I work with adults, teens, couples, and families online throughout California. Whether you are new to therapy or have done years of inner work, you are welcome here. I work with people navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, burnout, life transitions, relationship challenges, and the everyday weight of being human.
All sessions are held online, making depth-oriented therapy accessible wherever you are in California. A sliding scale is available.
Approach / How I Work
Depth Psychology Rooted in the work of Carl G. Jung, depth psychology helps us explore what lives beneath the surface — the patterns, imagery, dreams, and parts of ourselves that formed long before we had words for them. This is where lasting insight and transformation become possible.
Hakomi & Somatic Psychotherapy Guided by the principles of mindfulness and non-violence, Hakomi works directly with the body and nervous system. The body, breath, sensation, and imagery become doorways into experiences that may have remained unintegrated. What unfolds is never predetermined — we follow the innate intelligence of your system.
EMDR EMDR helps process experiences that have felt stuck or unresolvable — working with how distressing memories are held in the brain and body, so what has felt frozen can finally move.
Mindfulness Mindfulness is not a technique here — it is the foundation. It allows both client and therapist to remain present to what is actually arising, moment to moment, creating the conditions for genuine healing.
Services / Ways We Work Together

Teen Therapy A supportive, nonjudgmental space for teens navigating identity, anxiety, school stress, relationships, and the complexity of growing up.
Couples Counseling Guided sessions to deepen connection, improve communication, and work through relational patterns with care and presence.

About Willow Renée
I came to this work through a lifelong pull toward healing — through Chinese medicine, meditation, and eventually depth psychology and somatic therapy, where I found what I had been looking for: a way of working that meets the whole person. I believe that when we ease suffering in one person, the effects ripple outward. That possibility is what brings me to this work.
My approach is shaped by my doctoral training in acupuncture and Chinese medicine, two meditation lineages, and my graduate thesis: Between Worlds: Teletherapy as a Liminal Space for Hakomi and Depth Psychological Practice.
