Clinical grounding
Evidence-based counseling, ethical practice, and thoughtful goals create the foundation.
Meet Renee
Renee Ricks, MS, NCC, APC, brings evidence-based counseling and therapeutic movement together in a warm, collaborative practice.
The person behind the practice
At Sacred Balance Wellness Center, Renee supports adults and couples navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, and life transitions. Her style is attentive and human: clear enough to be useful, spacious enough for the parts of your experience that take time to name.
Renee earned her MS in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Mercer University’s CACREP-accredited program. She is a National Certified Counselor and an Associate Professional Counselor in Georgia, practicing within Georgia’s required direction and supervision framework.
As a therapeutic movement practitioner, she may also integrate dance/movement-informed practices, yoga-based awareness, mindfulness, somatic movement, and meditation. Every body-based practice is optional and adapted to the individual.
Our approach
Evidence-based counseling, ethical practice, and thoughtful goals create the foundation.
Thoughts, emotions, relationships, physical experience, culture, and meaning all matter.
You remain in control of your pace. Movement and somatic practices are always invitational.
The work connects back to daily decisions, relationships, boundaries, and moments of stress.
