Hi! I'm Dr. Renee Clauselle. I'm a down to earth psychologist that has been in practice for over 20 years. I am passionate about my client's personal growth. My specialties include, but are not limited to treatment of anxiety, depression, life transitions, attachment styles, self worth, parenting, and more. I'm a former professor at St. John's University and a media psychologist for GMA. Check out some of my appearances on Youtube @dr.reneeclauselle1571.
I specialize in working with clients who feel stuck in patterns they can recognize but struggle to change, such as overthinking, repeating unhealthy relationship dynamics, difficulty regulating emotions, or feeling overwhelmed despite “knowing better.” Many have done therapy before and have insight, but want support translating that awareness into real, lasting shifts. My approach integrates psychotherapy with somatic work to help regulate and rewire the nervous system so change is not just understood but experienced. For clients who feel blocked or unable to move forward, I also offer emerging neurofeedback to support deeper brain based change and neuroplasticity. I work with diverse populations and tailor treatment to meet each client where they are while guiding them toward meaningful, sustainable growth.

My style is active, empathetic, and results-oriented. I don't just listen; I provide direct feedback and insightful questions to deepen your self-awareness. I'll gently challenge you to explore new perspectives and identify patterns, always in a safe space. My core is unconditional positive regard and profound care, ensuring you feel safe and accepted, truly heard and understood.
My strength is equipping you with practical skills for daily life. I provide concrete tools to manage difficult emotions, improve communication, develop robust coping mechanisms, and cultivate emotional resilience. My commitment is tangible results: symptom reduction, sustainable recovery, deeper self-discovery, and ultimately, an improved quality of life. Whether you want to "figure things out" or enhance your mental fitness, I'm here to guide you.


Headway makes it easier to connect with affirming therapists who understand your identity — from finding the right therapist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Searching for LGBTQIA+ therapists in New York starts with finding identity-affirming care that fits your specific needs. Across the state, needs and available therapists can vary between urban and rural areas, so it helps to look for therapists who clearly list experience with LGBTQIA+ clients, affirmative therapy, WPATH training, or gender-diverse care. You may also want support related to identity, relationships, family conflict, anxiety, depression, or life transitions. Reading a therapist’s listed specialties and approach can help you understand whether their background matches the kind of support you want.
From New York City to Buffalo and Albany, access to LGBTQIA+-affirming therapists can look different depending on where you live. In larger areas, you may have more options to compare; in smaller markets, virtual sessions can expand your search beyond nearby offices. As you narrow your options, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, and whether their background or communication style feels aligned with your preferences. Therapist bios can be especially useful when they mention LGBTQIA+ populations directly, explain what sessions are like, or describe an affirming approach in clear terms.
The cost of mental health care in New York varies, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway makes it easier to find LGBTQIA+-affirming therapists who take insurance, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, and compare virtual and in-person availability. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and you can confirm your coverage based on your location and plan details. From there, you can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
