About Renate
Renate Kohlmann is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 25 years of clinical experience. She welcomes people who are ready to take a step toward feeling better and offers a calm, client-centered presence in sessions. She speaks English and German and practices in California.
Her work focuses on common life strains like stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship concerns. Renate also helps with addictions, self-esteem struggles, career shifts, and coping with life changes. She brings attention to issues tied to chronic pain, illness, and disability when they affect daily life.
Renate uses a client-centered stance that prioritizes the person's own goals and pace. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time. In practical terms this means she listens closely, helps people name what matters, and points out patterns that may be keeping them stuck.
Sessions tend to be conversational and reflective. Renate works to create a space where people can talk through upsetting feelings, sort out decisions, and practice new ways of relating. She pays attention to how past experiences show up in current problems and offers steady guidance for making changes.
