Renisha Simpkins

Renisha Simpkins is a Licensed Professional Counselor who believes that true authority comes from authenticity. She emphasizes that the more one embraces honesty, vulnerability, and acceptance of oneself, the more empowered they become to address and heal all aspects of their lives. For Renisha, radical self-acceptance leads to personal freedom, and she is devoted to promoting positivity in her clients' daily realities. Recognizing that many people grapple with societal and internal pressures, Renisha aims to help individuals break free from self-judgment that often limits potential and dishonors their truths. She partners with clients to shift their focus from the confines of their thoughts to the rich possibilities of the present moment. With a background that includes an MA in Counseling from Oakland University and over 17 years of experience working with individuals, children, and families—6 of which have been as a counselor—Renisha specializes in a range of disorders, particularly eating disorders and trauma. Her practice employs a strength-based approach grounded in evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Solution-Focused therapy. Renisha works with a diverse array of clients—free of judgment regarding religion, size, race, sexuality, age, or gender—who are willing to learn and grow. She is dedicated to helping her clients understand and accept their past, empowering them to honor their present and become the best versions of themselves. If someone is seeking support to overcome self-judgment, manage anxiety or mood changes, or simply wishes to rediscover self-love, Renisha is dedicated to providing the guidance and partnership they need on their journey.
