Intro

Hi! I’m Ren, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a specialization in suicidal ideation, crisis intervention and trauma. I’m the owner of Essential Wellness Advocates and want to help YOU. Removing the stigma from mental health is my passion and I’m dedicated to helping the mental health community. I don’t claim to have all the answers. I don’t claim to have a cure or a solution. But, I do believe that no struggle is permanent and you don’t have to be stuck here. Experiences are permanent, trauma and loss are permanent - we often wear those scars as proof. Self harm is a struggle and it’s rarely the way people WANT to cope with experiences; unfortunately many of us do. This struggle may last a while but it will NOT last forever. In a perfect world we would encounter struggle, stress or trauma, let it roll off our back and move on without skipping a beat. But we all know that’s not the way it works. We all cope differently and some of us adopt healthier methods than others. That’s where I come in. You can learn to COPE. You can learn HEALTHIER ways to cope and you can manage symptoms of depression, anxiety, PTSD. You can learn to control the urges to self harm or act impulsively in the face of those diagnosis.
