You don't need to be fixed. You need to be met.
Something brought you here — maybe a sense that the usual approaches haven’t reached what’s actually underneath. My work isn’t about managing symptoms on a checklist. It’s about creating the conditions where your psyche can do what it already knows how to do. When structure or a specific approach like EMDR is what’s needed, we use it. But we follow your system’s lead — not a predetermined agenda. This is depth work — relational, somatic, and unhurried.
Who I Work With.
You may have tried therapy before and felt like something was missing. Or this may be your first time reaching out, and you’re not even sure how to name what’s wrong — only that something is. I work with adults, teens, couples, and families throughout California who are ready to go beneath the surface. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, burnout, life transitions, or relationship patterns that keep repeating — you are welcome here.
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.

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.
