“Vincenzo is an excellent therapist! First and foremost, he's kind and compassionate, and always wants his clients to feel comfortable. He is great at reminding key things easy to forget / hard to do: being kind to yourself, practicing self care, tools in the tool box from CBT and beyond. Sessions feel useful, and Vincenzo is willing to work with your style to best help (e.g. practical tasks, or family history talk therapy, etc). He is also very thorough, I can tell he reviews notes, I feel prioritized as a client. I feel lucky to have him and hope I can keep him as my therapist!”

“Vincenzo is wonderfully kind and open. I had no problems instantly feeling safe and cared for. I recommend him to anyone, especially those who are dealing with major life change and/or deep emotional crisis. His openness and ease with which he touches on some tough subjects is both calming and encouraging. ”

Getting to know Vincenzo Renda

I focus on supportive therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and trauma-informed care for the individual. I rely on collaboratively working with individuals to identify and develop the strengths that can empower them through challenges. I have years of experience with evidence-based treatment for people with depression, anxiety, substance use, and trauma. Becoming a clinician is based on my innate clinical skills of listening, empathizing, and empowering. Upon completing my undergraduate and graduate education in Long Island, New York, I was able to expand and hone my skills by working in various types of settings. These experiences helped me gain a greater understanding of the broad spectrum of traumatic influences that shape lives and then deliver that to the people I work with. The process involves a gentle and honest assessment of a person’s clinical and family history. We will identify the history of coping mechanisms during stressful times and assess their effectiveness. We identify goals, objectives, and agreed-upon commitments. Homework might be assigned that will correlate with achieving those goals and objectives. The use of evidence-based screening tools will help identify and monitor the progress of symptom reduction. I'm a therapist with Octave and Evernorth Behavioral Care Group. Octave is a mental health practice providing high-quality care covered by multiple insurances. Evernorth Behavioral Care Group is a behavioral health provider group in-network with Cigna Healthcare and Evernorth Behavioral Health. For my availability, please see my calendar and book an appointment with me via ZocDoc.

My visit was a tele-visit and it went very well. For years, I was very hesitant about seeking therapy. One reason is because I was never a great believer and another reason is I had two experiences with therapists that didn't go so well. I am now very glad that I changed my mind. Vincenzo made me feel very comfortable. He is also a great listener. I felt heard which I think is a crucial component when engaging with a therapist. I felt a great sense of relief after our session that I haven't felt in a while--and it was only the first session! So, I am very much looking forward to continuing the journey and highly recommend Vinnie if you want to give it a shot!

Wonderful listener, validated and valued me, communicates well and takes time to think and ask questions. If you’re looking for someone who gets to the point while still being considerate he’s the perfect therapist.
