MA, LPC • Licensed Professional Counselor
About
In the realm of trauma recovery, Renee Rubinelli, MA, LPC, stands as a beacon of hope and healing for those who have faced life's most challenging moments. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, Renee has dedicated her career to working extensively with individuals who have experienced traumatic events, offering a safe haven for veterans, first responders, law enforcement officers, and survivors of domestic violence or sexual assault.
Renee's approach to therapy is both comprehensive and nuanced, recognizing the complex interplay between trauma and human relationships. She specializes in helping clients build tools to foster more secure attachments, a skill particularly crucial for first responders and law enforcement professionals who often learn to emotionally detach as a coping mechanism in their high-stress careers. By teaching clients how to stay grounded and reconnect with their bodies, Renee addresses both the psychological and physiological aspects of trauma recovery.
Drawing from a diverse therapeutic toolkit, Renee employs a variety of approaches tailored to each client's unique needs. Her Gottman Level 1 certification equips her with specialized skills for couples work, while her EMDR training provides a powerful technique for processing traumatic memories. Renee's background in neuroscience allows her to blend the art of psychology with the science of brain functioning, offering clients a holistic understanding of their healing journey.
Renee's expertise extends beyond individual trauma to encompass relationship issues, reflecting her passion for helping people cultivate fulfilling and trusting partnerships. Whether working with a veteran struggling with PTSD, a police officer dealing with job-related stress, or a couple navigating the aftermath of trauma, Renee brings empathy, expertise, and a science-based approach to each session.
At Counseling Works, Renee serves clients in both Naperville and Frankfort locations, as well as through telehealth services. Her commitment to accessibility is evident in her acceptance of various insurance plans, including BCBS PPO, Optum/UBH, and Aetna, in addition to welcoming self-pay clients.
