Nicole Renner, MS, LPCC

I was born and raised in the Bismarck/Mandan area. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Mary.

As a military spouse and daughter of a first responder, I have a profound understanding of the unique challenges faced by service members and their families. My experience includes working with children, adults, and families to address a range of concerns such as depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, low self-esteem, and suicidal ideation. I view therapy as a collaborative process, partnering with clients to discover the techniques that best support their healing—whether through play, art, sand tray, talk therapy or brainspotting.
