Dr. Renata Way

Psychologist

Virtual • California


Dr. Way is a licensed clinical psychologist with extensive experience working with individuals. Her interventions are heavily rooted in behavioral therapy and evidence-based practices, including feminist and attachment theories. She conceptualizes clinical presentations from a multicultural and social justice perspective. While Dr. Way employs empirically validated treatments to ignite change, she also believes that there is no single story to any individual. Consequently, it is essential to understand the social, cultural, political, and spiritual context of each individual. Dr. Way works with mood-related disorders like anxiety and depression, as well as helping neurodiverse individuals begin to unmask and live authentically.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • California


Since I was a just a small child I held deep empathy and curiosity for other human beings. Ultimately, this lead me to obtain my MSW with a concentration in mental health and sub-concentration in school social work. Along the way, I have worked in many different community-based settings (mobile crisis, K-12 schools, outpatient behavioral health, drop-in centers, residential settings, and complex trauma treatment centers) serving folks from across the lifespan, witnessing so much growth and resilience along the way. I am particularly well-equipped to support children, teens, young adults, and parents.
