Renee Polytarides, LCSW, MSW

Renee Polytarides, LCSW, MSW

Psychotherapist
2400 E Commercial Blvd, Ste 101, Fort Lauderdale, FL
*Note that prior to the first session taking place with the provider, LifeStance will require a credit card on file. I hold a Master's in Social Work from Barry University and have over 10 years of experience counseling clients with depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, and substance abuse. My background enables me to be an extremely effective social worker who is comfortable counseling diverse groups of people. Through my work, I am committed to helping people overcome addictions to alcohol and drugs, depression, anxiety, and other stresses that affect all of us at some time in our lives. I believe that healing is a collaborative endeavor that requires honest caring without judgment, and I cooperatively assist my clients in clarifying their goals for treatment. Rather than adopting one methodology for all individuals and issues, I draw from a variety of methods to create a tailored approach for each individual and situation. As a therapist, I am warm, open, encouraging, and direct. I consider myself an active therapist, combining experience, education, creativity, and sense of humor with a down-to-earth, realistic approach to counseling. I have additional expertise in areas of Loss and Trauma, Social Emotional Learning Initiatives, Family Systems, Positive Parenting, Crisis Intervention, Mindfulness, and ADHD. I have advocated for and represented the myriad needs of children and adolescents brought to Family Court on abuse, neglect, custody, and delinquency petitions.

She seemed too intense and tried to tell me what I should do. She didn't suggest she demanded.
