Rene Jourdan

Rene keeps sessions straightforward and focused on what matters most to each person. Her work combines person-centered care with cognitive behavioral ideas.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based approaches when they fit the situation. Those methods help people notice what matters to them, change unhelpful patterns, and rebuild connection in relationships.

Rene has a long background in crisis work and addiction services. She contributed to the North Idaho Crisis Line for over five years and has supervised programs in family and peer support and adolescent and adult substance use treatment.

That experience informs how she handles intense moments and safety planning. She currently manages a substance use disorder program and runs both group and individual treatment.

Group topics have included coping skills, basic mental health processing, and the Matrix Model of addiction. These groups focus on practical tools and peer learning.

In sessions she emphasizes empathy and collaboration. People can expect clear goals, skills practice, and steps to carry forward between meetings.

Rene also supports parents and individuals dealing with family and attachment issues, adoption and foster care concerns, and the stress that comes with caregiving and chronic illness.
