Renae Holbrook

Hello! I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a down-to-earth and direct style. I believe in being honest while also deeply compassionate. My goal is to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where you feel safe, supported, and understood as we work through life’s more difficult and personal challenges together.

I enjoy working with clients navigating betrayal trauma, as well as anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, low self-esteem, and communication challenges. I’m especially passionate about helping individuals—particularly men—develop emotional awareness, strengthen their connection to self, and build more meaningful relationships.

I graduated from San Jose State University with a Bachelor’s degree in Child Development and have a Master’s degree in Professional Counseling from the University of Phoenix.

I use an eclectic approach including, but not limited to, CBT, ACT, mindfulness, emotional regulation, somatic experiencing, and motivational interviewing.

I am certified in EMDR, Positive Discipline, and trained in the Gottman method (Levels 1 & 2), EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy) Level 1, and have taken various trainings in RLT (Relational Life Therapy).

During our first session, my goal is to create a comfortable, nonjudgmental space where you feel safe being yourself. We’ll talk about what’s bringing you in, explore your goals, and begin to get a sense of how we can work together in a way that feels helpful and supportive to you.
