Rena Maus

Life's biggest challenges rarely come with instructions. I'm Rena, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with over a decade of experience, and I work with teens, young adults, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship issues, ADHD, and stress.

I'm a problem solver at heart. Many of the people I see want more than a place to vent; they want to understand what's really going on and what to do about it.

I especially love helping people find themselves again after difficult relationships.

I look for the root cause of what's going on, then explain it in a clear, easy-to-understand way, with structure for moving forward. I draw from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, solution-focused therapy, and somatic therapy, all with a trauma-informed lens.

My approach is holistic. Alongside talk therapy, we may use mindfulness-based tools like breathing, focus, grounding, and meditation, and work on routines and habits that support you day to day.

I hold a second master's degree in theology, so if faith or spirituality matters to you, I'm glad to bring it into our work. If not, you're just as welcome.

Our first session is about understanding where you are: what's been getting in the way, what you've already tried, and what you'd like to feel differently. From there, we'll build a clear plan together.

You can expect structure, honesty, and someone who will help you see things from a new angle.

Outside of sessions, I love being in nature, spending time with my cats, and hitting the gym, where I've learned that real change comes from small, consistent reps. That's the same approach I bring to our work.
