About Renee Rathke

My Approach

I believe each of us wants health and wellbeing.  I trust we hold our own unique solutions and abilities to heal our inner wounds aided by our own systems which are designed for healing. I will work in collaboration with you utilizing approaches to therapy that embody mindfulness, non-judgmental/non-violence, compassion and awareness toward reaching your healing transformation.

My Experience

I am a private practice clinician and have been a therapist for 30+ years.  My expertise is in assisting clients who are affected by past trauma and complex trauma experiences and clients who are experiencing current mental health issues. Over the years, I have been privileged to provide services to clients ranging in age from 18 months to end of life. Today, my practice focuses on adults across the life spectrum (ages 18 and older) in individual and relational sessions.

Credentials

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the State of Oregon. Through the years, I have been trained in a number of therapeutic approaches.  Although I may utilize techniques from other therapies, SAFE EMDR (Safety and Attachment Focused EMDR) and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy are the approaches to therapy you will be provided in your work with me. I believe they are the most effective and efficient approaches to therapy and healing.  I am an EMDR certified clinician, Consultant and Approved Trainer through EMDRIA, Level 1 and Level 2 trained Sensorimotor Psychotherapy clinician through Sensorimotor Psychotherapy Institute. You can learn more about EMDR and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy on my services page.
