Getting to know Theodora (Renae) Vance

Hey y'all! Welcome to Real Talk with Renae! We'll do more than just talk-we'll journey! As the creator and owner of Real Talk, I'm partnering with Grow Therapy to bring hope, healing and change. If you're here, it means you're ready, or at least, curious about making shifts in your life and I'm here for it! Let's face it. Life is downright messy at times! As a Licenced Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I help people with their mess. I use the intersection of my experience along with a healthy dose of compassion, empathy, accountability, sense of humor and a dash of keeping it real to guide you through your journey. If you are dealing with anxiety, depression, substance use, relationship issues, trauma and grief, stress management, women's issues, personality disorders and/or have criminal-justice involvement, let's talk.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I will challenge you, but I'm not pushy. The goal is always to help you address the reasons you sought therapy in the first place and to help you grow in whatever way you need. You can expect guidance, respect, compassion and homework! Don't let the homework thing scare you. Most of the time it's just a matter of thinking about something that we will work on in the next session.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
