Ren McCausland
Title: Therapist Intern
Pronouns: they/them
Role: Intern Therapist
Locations: Collegeville & Virtually
Accepting New Clients: Yes
Ren (they/them) works with people who are ready for a space where they can show up exactly as they are. They see adolescents, young adults, college students, adults, couples, and families who are navigating life transitions, identity questions, relationship challenges, and what it means to be themselves in a world that doesn’t always make room for that.
Ren is a queer-identified therapist who works from an anti-oppressive lens. They especially love working with LGBTQIA+ folks, including asexual and gender-nonconforming communities, people healing from religious trauma, and anyone figuring out who they are outside of who they’ve been told to be.
They use a systemic approach to therapy, which means conversations will explore the systems we all operate within (family, political, capitalism) that impact who we are and how we engage with the world. Ren pulls from emotion-focused, somatic, and person-centered frameworks, and is declaring a concentration in sex therapy.

Ren’s Approach
Therapy with Ren is collaborative. They operate from the core belief that clients are the experts of their own experience, and that back and forth is a necessary part of the process.
Their approach is grounded in warmth and authenticity to ensure that clients feel supported and empowered. Ren leans toward emotion-focused, somatic, and person-centered work, with a solid mix of exploratory, relational, and educational tones. They can also be directive when the situation calls for it, but it’s not their typical pace.
Good therapy is clear communication. That includes session goals, something new to try, or something that isn’t working. Clear communication builds genuine human connection, and that’s what this is really about.
