Matthew "Matt" Renken, LPC, LPCC

Matthew "Matt" Renken is a positive, pragmatic, relational therapist who meets people where they are and focuses on practical, collaborative work to support meaningful change. He draws on experience helping individuals manage stress and anxiety, address addictions, build motivation, strengthen self-esteem and confidence, and navigate depression and life transitions. He aims to tailor conversations and treatment plans to each person’s unique needs and circumstances, creating a respectful and compassionate space for growth.

Faith is an important part of his identity, and he integrates that personal perspective in a way that honors each person’s own belief system rather than seeking to convert or persuade. He emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and a nonjudgmental approach while working with issues such as communication difficulties, forgiveness, self-love, social anxiety, and phobia. He holds professional counseling credentials - LPC and LPCC - which indicate he is a licensed professional counselor and a licensed professional clinical counselor, trained to provide evidence-informed therapeutic support.

Taking the first step toward a more fulfilling life often requires courage, and he positions himself as a steady source of support through life’s ups and downs. His style blends relational connection with practical strategies to help people move forward toward their goals.
