Renae Marcolongo MA, MFTC
Marriage & Family Therapist, Director of Compliance & Training
Have you been struggling with stress in your family, work...life? Do you feel like you are simply surviving when you really wish you were thriving? Do you want greater satisfactions in your relationships? As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I am qualified to help families, couples and individuals in the many areas that can create negativity in life. My heart is to help people find solutions on a grander scale, leading to enhanced life satisfaction and balance. Essentially, you are the expert in your life, and I am the liaison between the ‘now’ you and meeting the goals you set to becoming the future you.
A little about me personally, I am the mother of 4 grown children. I have been married for 31 years to an amazing man who served in the US Air Force for 11 years, giving me a keen understanding of military life. I spent 9 years teaching High School aged students, and found much joy in being the 'go to' person for them. Lastly, I have an 12 year old Dotson named Frank, who I absolutely adore.
I love helping couples reconnect. I have worked with many couples in different stages of their relationships, from pre-marital to those with decades behind their marriage license. I specialize in family/couples relational issues, teens who are experiencing issues within the family system and/or at school, as well as younger kiddos experiencing anxiety, depression along with their parents. I was also a military wife for 11 years and taught high school aged children for 9 years, providing me with personal experience and keen insight into these worlds.
I am passionate about helping people and feel an innate desire to do so. I enjoy helping people sort through confusing times, and areas of conflict. Some of my best experiences counseling has been working with families, couples, teens and children above the age of 5. I am here to listen. I am here to help. I would love to hear from you so that you can begin your journey to a happier, more satisfying life. Call me so we can get started on your new path today!
