I’ve never been one to lead with titles. I believe respect is earned through character, consistency, and how you show up for people. Still, I understand the value of clarity—especially in spaces where education, experience, and leadership matter. So here’s a proper introduction.
I am Dontisha Renee. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor (LPC-S), the founder of Dontisha Renee Counseling & Consulting, and I hold a Doctor of Education (Ed.D.). At the heart of my work is a commitment to mental health, leadership, wellness, purpose, and faith.
I’m a native of El Dorado, Arkansas, and my passion for empowering women was shaped early through the steady support of my mother, the influence of strong faith leaders, and a deep relationship with God. Those foundations continue to guide how I counsel, supervise, and lead today.
My work in mental health has allowed me to walk alongside women as they navigate identity, self-worth, trauma, boundaries, and the tension between who they are and who they’re becoming. As an LPC-Supervisor, I’m also passionate about developing counselors, supporting their clinical growth while helping them remain grounded, ethical, and self-aware.
Earning my doctorate wasn’t about collecting credentials. It was about obedience, stewardship, and becoming equipped to serve at a higher level. I believe learning is lifelong, leadership is a responsibility, and wellness is not optional…it’s foundational. That belief is why my work extends beyond therapy into supervision, consultation, leadership development, and purpose-driven empowerment.
Everything I do is rooted in the belief that people are not problems to be fixed, but individuals worthy of care, compassion, and intentional development. Or, as Aristotle said, “Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all.” That truth continues to shape my work and my calling.
