Meet Renanah

I am a psychodynamic psychotherapist working with adults who are struggling with a wide range of problems. I am an Instructor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, where I mentors graduate students in clinical psychology. I am also on staff at Northwestern Memorial Hospital. Prior to my work in private practice, I trained in the treatment of severe and persistent mental illnesses, and I worked in community mental health. In addition to addressing immediate concerns and problematic symptoms, my goal as a therapist is to collaborate with my patients to understand and change longstanding relationship patterns and sources of dissatisfaction. These changes lead to greater fulfillment, intimacy and resilience. To expand my skills with somatic interventions, I have been trained in clinical hypnosis. When patients are interested, I integrate hypnosis in the psychotherapy process either to deepen awareness of subconscious issues or increase regulation and wellness.
