Where Insight Becomes Integration
The Work
My practice is intentionally small and highly specialized. I work with a limited number of patients and clients in order to provide focused, depth-oriented care.
You may be highly capable in your life.
You may be successful, intelligent, and self-aware.
And still:
• Desire feels complicated, muted, or confusing
• Trauma lingers in the nervous system
• Intimacy feels fragile, charged, or difficult to sustain
• You long for embodiment, not just understanding
• You want partnership without losing yourself
You are not looking for surface solutions.
You are ready for integration.
My work bridges sexuality, relational psychoanalytic depth, attachment science, trauma resolution, and somatic integration.
Together we work toward:
• Releasing sexual shame and reclaiming pleasure
• Resolving trauma through EMDR and nervous system regulation
• Understanding how early relational templates continue to shape intimacy in the present
• Bringing unconscious relational patterns into awareness so they can shift rather than repeat
• Strengthening secure functioning while honoring autonomy and desire
• Increasing capacity for emotional and erotic intimacy
• Integrating expanded or spiritually transformative experiences responsibly
Insight begins change.
Transformation unfolds through embodied and relational experience.
ABOUT DR. DENISE RENYE
Dr. Denise Renye is a licensed clinical psychologist and AASECT Certified Sex Therapist with over 20 years of experience specializing in sexuality, attachment, trauma, and embodiment.
She earned her first master’s degree in Human Sexuality from Widener University, one of the only accredited graduate programs in human sexuality in the United States. She later received both her master’s and doctoral degrees in Clinical Psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies.
Her work is grounded in relational and psychoanalytic depth frameworks, integrating sexuality, embodiment, and trauma-informed care into psychotherapy that attends not only to symptoms, but to the unconscious relational templates that shape desire, intimacy, and identity.
She maintains a boutique private practice, working with a limited number of patients in Marin County and the greater Bay Area in person, and remotely throughout California, Colorado, and Oregon.
WAYS TO WORK WITH DR. RENYE
Psychotherapy
For patients seeking depth-oriented therapy at the intersection of sexuality, trauma, attachment, identity, and relational healing.
This work explores embodied experience and the unconscious patterns that shape how you relate to yourself and others. Psychotherapy includes sex therapy, trauma-focused work, EMDR, attachment-based depth treatment, and psychedelic preparation and integration for legally sanctioned or ceremonial experiences.
Available in person in Marin County and via telehealth throughout California, Colorado, and Oregon.
Individualized Coaching & Advisory
For clients seeking focused, high-level guidance outside of a psychotherapy framework.
Coaching may address:
• Embodiment and erotic integration
• Relational clarity and discernment
• Leadership and power dynamics
• Life transitions and personal evolution
Dr. Renye typically works with one to two coaching clients at a time in a structured, individualized program. Coaching is available nationally and internationally.
Clinical Consultation
For therapists and healthcare professionals seeking advanced consultation in sexuality, trauma, attachment dynamics, and complex relational cases.
Dr. Renye provides consultation grounded in relational psychoanalytic depth, embodied practice, and over two decades of experience in sex therapy and trauma-informed care.
Consultation is available individually and in small groups.
Teaching & Professional Education
For students, clinicians, and organizations seeking advanced training in sexuality, embodied relational work, attachment dynamics, and psycho-spiritual integration.
Educational programs, workshops, and consultation offerings are available globally.
A Different Kind of Depth Work
Many individuals and couples arrive after years of therapy that increased awareness but did not meaningfully shift lived experience.
This work moves beyond insight alone.
Here we attend to:
• The nervous system
• Desire and intimacy without shame
• The unconscious patterns that shape attachment and conflict
• Relational dynamics as they emerge in real time
• Somatic regulation and embodied presence
• Emotional maturity in partnership
This is not only about understanding your history.
It is about transforming the patterns that continue to live in the present.
It is deliberate, relational, and integrative.
Discernment and Readiness
Dr. Renye’s services reflect advanced specialization and over two decades of clinical experience.
She works best with individuals and couples who are ready to engage deeply and invest in focused, high-level care.
This is not brief insurance-based treatment, nor is it technique-driven therapy.
It is depth-oriented work that requires curiosity, honesty, and willingness to examine relational patterns as they unfold.
If you are ready for careful, integrative work that honors complexity, embodiment, and desire, alignment may be possible.

Embodiment allows the nervous system to complete responses that were interrupted long ago.
Healing begins to shift when the body experiences something new: a breath that deepens instead of constricts, a boundary held without collapse or guilt, movement replacing immobilization, tears flowing instead of freezing, pleasure allowed without bracing, connection that feels safe enough to stay present. These moments cannot be understood into existence. They must be lived. The nervous system learns through experience.
