Renee Fagan has been a psychotherapist and coach in the NY/ NJ metropolitan area for over 25 years. She has worked extensively with adults, adolescents, and couples to help them improve the quality of their lives; to create new paths for themselves at times when they thought that none existed.

In working with her clients she believes that  it’s crucial to find the right language, the right tools to co-create the changes that ultimately lead to new possibilities and choices. This perspective has helped her create a toolbox of skills and  techniques that create a very individualized approach in my work.

She received her Masters from  NYU and then later attended IPPNJ,  a psychoanalytic institute. Through the course of her career  it became very important to understand much more deeply how important the mind/body connection was. This led to training in mind/body techniques, breathwork, hypnosis, meditation, EMDR to mention a few.  She has successfully integrated these techniques into her work with her clients and has a wide range of tools at her disposable to really help people move forward in their lives to attain the goals that are most important to them.

  In the years of practice, she is proud to say that she has  helped her cliengss enjoy a higher quality of life, over coming and managing depression, anxiety, symptoms of OCD, and grief. In relationship work, whether it be with couples, parent/child relationships or in the work environment, it’s been very satisfying to help people find their voice and be open enough and safe enough to hear with a new perspective.

Over the past several years coaching has been a specific  concentration in her work. Therapy is about opening the emotional suitcase; coaching is about moving it forward; that is what a Life Coach is trained to do. A specific specialty is Wellness Coaching which very simply is helping people live their lives well.  Renee brings her years of experience to using the Wellness Inventory which is a fabulous tool to coach her clients in creating a life of wellness in mind, body and spirit. Renee is now implementing Corporate Wellness Programs. She is a Certified Wellness Coach and and has completed her requirements for the BCC and is a Board Certifed Coach. 

It is Renee’s goal that this website be a source of reliable and thought provoking information and that it be a reflection of the quality of work and committment that she brings into her relationship with her clients.
