Getting to know Renato Talhadas
Hi there, I'm Renato!
Hello, my name is Renato Talhadas (Hey-Nah-Toh). I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with a Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy from Western Seminary, a certification in addiction counseling, and specializations in theology and LGBTQ+ issues. My therapeutic approach is holistic, combining Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-informed care, and solution-focused techniques. I work with individuals facing anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, and life transitions. My goal is to empower you toward personal growth and lasting change, helping you navigate challenges with strength and resilience.
My approach
My approach to therapy is collaborative, client-centered, and rooted in fostering a safe, supportive environment. I primarily draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change negative thought patterns, and trauma-informed care to ensure that past experiences are acknowledged and treated with sensitivity. I also integrate solution-focused therapy to help you set achievable goals and take actionable steps toward positive change. My practice is tailored to meet your unique needs, empowering you to heal, grow, and thrive.
My focus
I typically work with individuals facing anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, and life transitions. I'm especially comfortable treating clients dealing with substance use disorders, PTSD, and those navigating identity and relationship issues, including LGBTQ+ concerns. My approach is empathetic, solution-focused, and tailored to meet the unique needs of each client.
My communication style
In my sessions, I create a warm, non-judgmental, and supportive environment where you can feel safe to explore your thoughts and emotions. Clients often describe working with me as empowering and collaborative. I balance compassionate listening with practical guidance, making therapy both a space for deep reflection and actionable progress toward your goals.
