My name is Renea Slaughter, Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and owner of Renew Your Mind LLC. I believe in meeting you where you are, walking with you along your path, and helping you learn to navigate experiences to live a life you desire. I care, create time and space for you, and help you explore those scary, sad, uncomfortable things so you’re not alone in your process. Healing is hard. You can try it alone or with me.

It all started as a kid; everyone came to me in order to “talk it out.” As I grew older, the way people think, the what, why, and how, began to fascinate me. Schooling was the next step, so I found myself studying at the University of South Carolina, Aiken, as a Sociology major, minoring in Psychology and Anthropology. After earning my Bachelor’s degree, I felt what I knew didn’t quite cut it, so I continued my education at the University of South Carolina, Columbia, obtaining a Master’s in Social Work and later received my clinical license to practice.

Having worked both in a state psychiatric facility and private practice settings for over ten years, I have had the opportunity to assist individuals of all backgrounds suffering from a wide range of difficulties. Whether it is a severe persistent mental illness or an everyday life stressor, I’ve learned that there is always a way to heal, grow, and overcome.
