Jeanette Rendina, PsyD, PMH-C

As we journey through life, there are times when we need a little help.

Since 2017, I have worked as a licensed clinical psychologist with individuals and couples in Kittitas County. I am experienced with people facing trauma, mood disorders, anxiety, chronic illnesses, relational issues (poly & non-poly), LGBTQIA+ issues, Veteran issues, neurodivergence, identity, culture, discrimination, grief and loss, and life transitions.

My approach is integrative and evidence-based. I primarily draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), the Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills, Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), trauma-informed psychotherapy, and relational, attachment-informed psychotherapy. I continue to pursue advanced training in the Unified Protocol for Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders (UP) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) to further expand my clinical competencies.

My work emphasizes identifying and targeting the maintenance mechanisms underlying emotional disorders through psychoeducation, cognitive and behavioral interventions, emotion regulation, exposure-based strategies (including interoceptive exposure), executive functioning interventions, and the therapeutic relationship. I tailor treatment to each client’s presenting concerns while integrating current evidence-based practices and continuing to develop expertise in specialty areas relevant to my practice.

Additionally, I have a passion and specialized knowledge of working with menstrual health. I am experienced in supporting cycle wellness, PMS, PMDD, PME, and conditions affecting the reproductive system. Further, as I am passionate about reproductive health, I also work with the needs of people thinking about conceiving and struggles from conception to postpartum.

I completed my doctorate at California Lutheran University.
