The Renewed Founders
After several years of owning and growing their individual practices and working alongside each other as business partners and friends , Jeannette & Amanda decided to merge their practices into one. With aligned vision and purpose set on their hearts by God, Renewed Integrative Counseling was born!
"This is more than just a practice or business… this is a calling for a specific time to meet specific needs. God has called us to step in and to serve the ever increasing mental health needs of our community. At our practice, our compassion team is dedicated to helping individuals & families journey through a process of healing and growth. We are humbled and honored to serve in this capacity."

Jeannette Alcantara, LMHC-QS
Founder & CEO.
With almost 20 years of experience in the helping profession, Jeannette Alcantara has dedicated her career to supporting individuals and families in overcoming life's challenges. As one of the Founders and CEOs of Renewed Integrative Counseling, Jeannette has been leading the organization for over 5 years, offering her expertise as a licensed mental health counselor and a state-licensed Qualified Supervisor for Mental Health Interns. In addition to her clinical background, Jeannette is also a writer, speaker, and entrepreneur, using these platforms to further her passion for helping others.
Jeannette's work has been instrumental in shaping the vision of Renewed Integrative Counseling, helping lay the foundation for a transformative framework that goes beyond individual care. Through her leadership, she has contributed to creating not just a practice, but a movement aimed at bringing healing to communities across the nation. Her deep commitment to reflecting the love of Christ in the communities Renewed Integrative Counseling serves is at the heart of this movement for healing. She believes that true healing and growth are rooted in compassion, grace, and a desire to see others live purposeful and fulfilling lives.
Central to this mission is the Renewed Model, a guiding framework Jeannette developed to empower clinicians in their therapeutic work. Through this model, clinicians help clients heal deep-rooted childhood and adult trauma, strengthen core coping strategies by replacing unhealthy habits with healthy and holistic ones, and foster personal growth through relationship assessment and development. The Renewed Model also helps guide clients in identifying their personal values and God-given purpose, ultimately helping them live a life of meaning and fulfillment.
