EMDR Certified Therapist Membership
ReNu Counselling & Psychotherapy
I’m Renee Raymond, a Registered Psychotherapist (CRPO), Provisional Psychologist, Canadian Certified Counsellor, and Registered Kinesiologist (CKO) dedicated to helping individuals reach peak performance and mental well-being. I aim to not only support my clients on their unique journeys on and off the field but also to empower them to recognize their innate worth. I’ve supported Olympic and professional athletes, varsity athletes, dancers, and entertainers, and I consult with Game Plan, part of the Canadian Olympic Committee. My approach leverages clients’ life experiences to promote self-realization, balance, and the confidence to reach their full potential.
With firm roots in sports psychology and personal experience as a former athlete, I have long understood mental health’s essential role in athletic performance. I believe in the transformative power of a holistic approach—especially for those reaching toward peak potential. My qualifications include a Doctorate in Psychology and a Certificate in Sport Psychology from California Southern University, an MS in Clinical Psychology from Walden University, a Specialized Honors Degree in Kinesiology and Health Science/Psychology from York University, and an Advanced Certificate in Couple & Family Therapy from the University of Guelph. I’m also an EMDR Certified Therapist, with training in perinatal mental health. Currently, I am completing a postgraduate certificate in Sport Psychology and training to become a Certified Mental Performance Consultant (CMPC) under Dr. Angel Brutus, Lead Psychological Services Provider for the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee.
Together, we tackle challenges head-on. My practice blends conventional therapeutic methods with a focus on mental and high performance, creating opportunities for growth through challenges like anxiety, depression, injury recovery, trauma, cultural issues, and eating disorders. My goal has always been to offer a safe, validating space where clients feel supported to grow, develop resilience, and connect with their inner strength—reflecting their best selves in life. I’m here to help you see and achieve your potential.
