Rene Ornes (He/Him)

What makes my approach unique is the way I show up for my clients. I show up for the people I serve in an empathetic and playful way while remaining honest and respectful. I’m compassionate, but I am also not afraid to challenge my clients. I am what's called a 'Person-Centered Therapist'. Which means you'll be empowered as the captain of your life. Therapy will be a safe space where you can process and navigate. I also borrow from Relational and Cognitive Behavioral Therapies. Through those lenses, we'll explore the value of your relationships, and use exercises to target unwanted thoughts/behaviors. I am also a couples therapist that uses The Gottman Method (Level One). To me, working with couples is both challenging and rewarding. Couples therapy can be an uncomfortable experience (for all parties involved), but overcoming that discomfort is beyond worthwhile. Holding that space for you and your loved one is both an honor and a privilege.

My passion: helping others feel good about themselves. My mission: providing authentic and uplifting care to people in Texas. You should know that if there are a million counselors, then there are a million expressions of counseling. I view the counseling experience as a highly creative process. A process that merges art, science and business into a single profession. My training in various therapeutic techniques, paired with my life experience as a queer, Hispanic man, allows me to help my clients through whatever struggles they’re facing from a unique and impartial lens.
