Dr winters is incredibly raw, vulnerable, great at what she does, loves what she does (isn't miserable giving people advice). I've actively done therapy for 15 years but can't say that I've met someone like her. She is also easy to reach, no fuss and makes herself easy to approach and open up to. Love her relaxing office setting as well and I highly recommend her. I will say you have to be a match for her and her personality and isn't that the point of being human? Highly recommend for all relationship types she will easily add so much personal and professional development to your life read more

The therapist clearly took sides and did not facilitate a neutral mediator We came to her as a couples needing professional counseling and she did the opposite and almost destroyed our relationship even worse read more

Absolutely incredible therapist. Our family has used her and have recommended her many times over with amazing results. One caveat: if you do not want to heal/improve yourself or your situation, Dr. R is not for you. She expects you to work as hard as she does on your mental and emotional well-being. She cares deeply and wants you to get better and move on, but that being said, is always there as a safety net for you. We owe her a debt we can never repay. read more

I was referred to Dr. Renee Winters by a friend who knew of my struggles as a romantic partner of a law enforcement officer. Renee's experience working with first responders immediately made me feel understood and supported. Renee and I clicked right from the start, and I've never felt so comfortable with a therapist before. She's not like the standard "how does that make you feel" type, and her unique approach has made a real difference for me. I'm more committed to therapy now than ever before, thanks to her. Renee has been instrumental in guiding me through my relationship challenges. I am grateful for her approach as she not only cares deeply about her clients but also challenges them to better themselves. I highly recommend her services to anyone seeking personal growth and relationship counseling. read more

Dr. Winters should not be recommended for couples or family counseling. I noticed in A couple of other reviews state that she is one-sided. I couldn't agree more, and honestly, her communication style is past unprofessional and bordering on unethical. (ex: failing to answer a confirmed and scheduled appointment after multiple calls and facetime.) Many have said she "gets right to the point" however from an individual and familial perspective, she is jumping to her own assumptions before listening to her actual client, with no actual guidance. I've seen multiple therapists, all with different approaches, don't mistake her poor practice for a new approach. read more

Renee is nothing short of amazing. I send her an email at 11pm and literally early morning the next day she sends me a reply and gets me in the same day. She goes above and beyond and even texts me to check on me. As a business owner I appreciate the extra mile and her genuine effort to help. In this day and age where everyone treats you like a transaction it's refreshing to see someone treat people relationally. WARNING: she doesn't sugarcoat anything. She will tell you the way it is. So be ready for that read more

Dr. Renee sounds great according to the Yelp reviews. Unfortunately we will never know. I called her office, sent an email, and filled out their online form at her website twice over a two week period. We never heard back from anyone, not even a "sorry, we can't see you, we're too booked up". Nothing, no response whatsoever. If I was dealing with a single person I would call this a lack of common courtesy. As a business, however, this is just unprofessional. Fortunately we have Yelp! And the truth is, there are just TOO MANY OTHER BUSINESSES that need the work and respect the fact that someone would seek to entrust their business and counseling with them. We am moving on to the next highest rated counseling service. read more

If I could give less stars I would .. I went to her 5 years ago .. She acted like she was my friend, like she was on my side . It was everything I needed at that time . When I started going to her I was a hardworking strong single mom just newly divorced and struggling with the same stuff everyone struggles with. Kids, relationships and finance .. I struggled with self worth and found myself throwing myself in my job .. It was my safety and my security .... I trusted her and she stripped me of everything that felt safe to me .. She advised me to start dating and set me up with another patient ( first of many unethical things she's done ) .. Then I get into a relationship with this person and she advised me to be more feminine and allow him to take care of me ultimately leading to most of our relationship issues .. When we would have a couples session she sided with him on everything .. when we would have individual sessions she basically would stir the pot .. she sided with me on my issues when it was just me and her and then with him she'd side with him .. when me and my Boyfriend would discuss our individual sessions .. it was shocking that she pretty much lied to both of us ! I ended up finding a new therapist because honestly I didn't trust her .. I felt she added to our problems ! One day me and my boyfriend had a big fight over something absolutely ridiculous .. He walked out on me and I reached out to her for help .. Sent her a text saying I was concerned because I've never seen him act out like this and please don't let him know that I sent this.. I just wanted her to check on him .. keep in mind he was still seeing her for counseling .. Well she sent him a screenshot of my text .. the same text that says please don't show him this I'm scared he will be upset .. I have proof of this cause I took a picture of the screenshot on his phone .. Unethical ? I think so ! The last thing I'd ever want to do is put my business out there on yelp .. so trust me when I say I can no longer stay silent with the last thing she did .. The boyfriend and I broke up almost a year ago .. it's taken me a year to really recover from that .. I'm in a new relationship and was out enjoying a dinner with him at a local upland restaurant when I see her .. She sees me .. I see her reach for her phone and sure enough she texted him and told my ex boyfriend where I'm at and that I'm with a new guy .. How unethical ?! Her services should not go past her office door .. She had no right ! not only could she have put me in harms way but why would she want to hurt my ex ? It's not okay ! At this time I'm evaluating my options .. I reached out to her individually with my concerns with no response .. I feel my privacy has been violated by her .. read more

Renee is direct and has a different approach to therapy which I thought would be nice. I got some good nuggets of help for my marriage. However, me and husband ultimately stopped going because she clearly favored his side. My husband liked it at first haha but then he did tell me that she doesn't seem quite fair or neutral. I wish I had listen to another review about her taking the male's side. If you feel like this is happening to you too- go with your gut! You're not crazy, it probably is happening. read more

Renee saved my marriage! I know my sounds extreme but without her, I don't think our relationship would be where it's at now. Or at least we wouldn't have gotten here as soon as we did. She made us realize that the things we thought we had on lock down were really not and they need some fixing. Its not always going to be easy to hear what she has to say , but let's face it, we were searching for a therapist because we needed help/ just a little push in the right direction. She is straightforward and but still makes you feel comfortable enough to reach out when you need advice, even after hours. I 100% recommend her form the bottom of my heart. Let's put it this way, I haven't talked to her in over a year but I still felt the need to send her a thank you letter letting her know that we are still going strong, because of her. I will be forever grateful for this women! read more

When I lived in Rancho Cucamonga I started seeing Dr. Winters for family therapy and quite frankly, it was the best decision that I ever made. Now that I live in the High Desert, I still travel to Upland once a week for therapy. Dr. Renee Winters has always accommodated my schedule no matter how busy she is. I have nothing but praise for Dr. Renee Winters and would recommend her if you need family therapy, marriage counseling, or life coaching. In fact, Dr. Renee Winters has helped my family so much, that my next appointment will be for life coaching. I just wanted to thank Dr. Renee Winters for all of her help over the years. I know that I can count on her to be here in times of need. read more

Renee M Winters, PhD MFT - Renee M Winters - Psychologists Near Me - Upland, California

Dr Renee has been amazing to work with! She has been able to help me with my marriage. I appreciate her expertise and availability to continue to help me. read more

Dr. Winters is absolutely incredible. I cannot say enough about her. I was skeptical about therapy because I was worried I'd just be paying someone to listen to me talk. That is NOT the case at all with Dr. Winters. She is very proactive in the conversation, REAL, caring and honest. She helped me get out of a toxic relationship and was there to help me through every step of the way and I could not be more grateful. Sessions with her have been life changing. HIGHLY recommend read more

I've been to counseling off and on for my entire adult life.....I was hanging out to so much pain from my mom dying when I was a child and couldn't get past it. If affected so many different aspects of my life and I never understood why always ended back up in counseling.....well after 3 sessions, I was whole and complete about my moms death. I got what I made it mean and was able to let go of so many things. This was my first Mother's Day that o wasn't so sad about my mom dying. I love and miss my mom, but I don't feel defined by her death anymore. So if you haven't quite gotten what you need from counselors, you're in the right place. Thanks Dr. Renee Winters. read more

Dr Winters is truly amazing! Just being in her presence makes me feel better. We were at our wits end with our marriage and both felt exhausted, but with two children and 20 years together, divorce was not an easy decision to make and we felt so confused. In just one session she immediately called us both out on our issues, came up with a game plan, and has changed so much of our marriage and our family as a whole. She helped us heal some very traumatic situations that were affecting our day to day lives, and put to rest much of the past, allowing us to focus on the future. She does not waste your time or money. You will not be disappointed! read more

Let me start by saying that I've been to dozens of therapists over the course of about 30 years, and I only found good ones in the last three years now that I know what to look for. I was initially impressed with Dr. Winters' PhD and her no-nonsense approach to therapy. However, after a couple of sessions, she convinced my abusive husband that he was justified in his violence and anger against his family. I'm not sure if she didn't believe me (she said she didn't believe my daughter and called her a spoiled brat and manipulative). It seemed she wanted to help him feel better about himself? It was completely bizarre. As a result, he became even more violent, and my family was in serious danger. When Dr. Winters asked why I hadn't come back, I told her, and she told me that it's easy to blame other people for our problems and good luck. Since then, we've had two CPS cases opened, court-mandated therapy, and so much trauma. We have found good therapists who utilize the latest science (CBT, DBT, EMDR, psychedelics, mindfulness) to heal trauma and we're all getting better. Just imagine if we had gotten the help we needed all those years ago instead of the gaslighting that we received from Dr. Winters. It took me so long to write this because I had to heal first, but I always wanted to warn people about Dr. Winters. She seems like an old-school quack doctor to me and I think she is dangerous. read more

a little update.. My husband still has not drank Alcohol since Renee opened his eyes. June 12 2015. This past year and a half have been the best for my family. My husband and i are growing together instead of apart. I am so proud of my husband. My kids are doing great. Looking forward to 2017 with my family. Happy new year Renee!! :) read more

Grateful is the first word that comes to mind when I think of Dr. Winters (even though she does NOT get UP-ity when I called her just Winters for the first few sessions). She is a valuable and friendly resource in my life and has given me the "want to want to" rule that has helped me identify what is really important in my world. She is not a typical therapist and has her own unique style in sessions that can definetly challenge her clients to change. I like the fact that in the first session she said it was her goal to not have me sitting on her couch forever. In a few months time she has given me a nice course correction I needed to make significant progress. I am pleased with my results. I highly recommend her services and she has made it clear that she cares and will always answer my call no matter how much time goes by till my next session. I like the enviornment. It feels trendy, comfortable, and there is always coffee and sometimes baked cookies available (which are awesome). She always offers an ice cold bottle of water at the begining of each session which is nice. So my wife just proof read my review and says, "You can do better." Now I have writters block:) I enjoy my time with Winters. Simple as that. read more

Dr. Winter's is perceptive, hands on therapist that can zero in on underlying issues and guide one to resolution. I highly recommend her for one on one or couples counseling. She's excellent! ML read more

Dr. Winters is great. She is a real person which makes her approachable, yet she has superpowers as a therapist. She can get right to the point of what is the underlying cause of her clients issues. She does that for me in every session and I feel like she just turned a light on and all of a sudden I see what I wasn't seeing before. I started writing notes after every session because there was so much insight and I wanted to capture it all. I am picky about who I trust and have wasted time with other therapists that didn't do much for me. I was ready to give up when I discovered Dr. Winters. read more

Dr. Winters (aka Renee), is a rather different experience for me. I have been treated by religious or "Christian" therapists, so her approach to behavior modification, self awareness and therapeutic treatment, is much different to my previous experiences. She is direct, she is honest, she is kind, but doesn't waste your time with placating to your selfish emotional needs. If you are looking to actually grow as a person, she is someone to seek sessions with. If you can't handle the hard truth of your own actions, through a third party's eyes, go elsewhere, because this professional doesn't mess around with niceties for very long; she gets into the nitty gritty and works on pulling out your shortcomings, so you can truly experience growth and life change. read more

Dr winters is absolutely amazing!!! She has helped me through the hardest and darkest time in my life. She has given me the strength and confidence to make the necessary changes for a better life. I will forever be grateful. She's extremely honest, straight forward, reliable, and simply down to earth. I sincerely look forward to our sessions every time! Without a doubt, highly recommend!! read more

Renee has truly been a lifesaver with helping my husband & I get through some impossible (or so we thought at the time) obstacles with our teenager. After seeing Renee for several months I am happy to say that we finally have a happy home again. Our communication has improved tremendously. I cannot speak highly enough about Renee, I highly recommend her! read more

Doctor Renee is absolutely amazing. She is insightful and she genuinely cares. I always leave her office with a calm and inspired heart. She builds me up every visit! She is so compassionate and extremely knowledgeable. She also loves what she does. I highly recommend Renee because you will leave her office strong and open to personal growth. Her office is beautiful and I feel at home every time I visit. I am so glad I found Renee and I feel so blessed to have my monthly sessions with her. Because of her, I look at life and cope with my anxiety differently and positivity. Thank you Renee for all that you do. You are one of a kind and amazing. Highly recommend Renee!!! read more

It's been a true pleasure to work with doctor Winters. She is extremely insightful and knowledgeable. Doctor Winters genuinely cares and provides practical and common sense advice in a straightforward no nonsense way. She also worked with my daughter and was able to guide her in a meaningful way and caring way. I'm very very thankful read more

Dr. Renee has helped myself and my family in so many ways I can not thank her enough! Her way with words and not putting up with any of our excuses was just what we needed. Dr. Renee is gentle but firm and guides you in the direction that was needed. My husband and I are able to communicate on a much better level and enjoy each others company due to all of her positive input and fun homework ;). Dr. Renee was also able to help us with setting boundaries and guidlines with an adult "child". We were able to go as a family and our adult "child" liked Dr. Renee so much he now see her on a weekly bases for private session to fine tune his life skills as he is now out on his own thanks to Dr Renee's help and guidance! Dr. Renee goes the extra mile for her patients even after your session is done. Words can not express my gratitude to Dr Renee!!) read more

For a person like me who doesn't open up easily, I was nervous and anxious before my session with Renee. She put me at ease right away with her calm demeanor and profession approach to listening and advising. I feel like my voice was heard, and a lot was discussed and progress as made during our hour long session. I can say after seeing her several times with my wife and once solo, l would highly recommend Renee to anyone looking for help. I will be seeing her as my go-to, she is great read more

My husband and I have nothing but good things to say about Renee! We came to her at a time when we could t agree on certain things that had started to put a strain on our day to day life and Renee really helped us move past that in a constructive way. She's a master at her craft and can read people and situations like a book. She give unbiased advice and never makes you feel like she's taking anyone's side. She will also help you look for solutions to everyday problems so that unnecessary bickering is at bay. Another great thing about her is her responsiveness and availability! She's the perfect ingredient to a healthy marriage! read more

So grateful to have the opportunity to work with her for marriage counseling she helped us with big and small issues and turned our relationship around in such a positive way, we highly recommend her for any therapy she offers! read more

I have been seeing Dr. Winters for about 3 months now. I was in a dark place in my life and knew I needed help. I looked everywhere and found a few Drs. Yeah other's were cheaper but you get what you pay for. I read her reviews and the one thing that stood out was that she doesn't hold your hand, she tells it how it is. That's what sold me. And I'm so glad I chose her. She has helped me more then I could have ever imagined. From day one when I left her office I felt different and couldn't wait to go back to see her. I can sit here and go on and on with how great she is and how she has changed my life for the good but I recommend to stop looking for other Drs. and go with her. You will not be disappointed. read more

Going on a nearly 3-year relationship with Dr Winters and I cannot stop praising how awesome she is and how blessed I feel to have found her. There have been stretches of time where I do not see her for months but whenever I need her she is always there for me. She is always quick to respond and makes a big effort to accommodate appointments. And when I do see her it's like we just pick right up where we left off from our last visit. I will never see anyone else!! read more

I had the pleasure of working with Renee and one of the therapists in her office last year. Renee is honest, straight to the point, and at the same time empathetic, which is really difficult to find in a therapist. She has given me very valuable feedback I highly recommend her. read more

Amazing!! First time seeking a family therapist. Renee is professional, hard working, knowledgeable and extremely caring. There is No doubt that she truly cares and wants the best for her patients Highly recommend Renee My appreciation is beyond measure!! read more

when the stars state 'as good as it gets', it means exactly that. Please know I have been to numerous therapists throughout the years of marriage....it was 36 years. I know I have experience enough to state she is THE BEST and AS GOOD AS IT GETS. I have been to others who want to continue getting their pay, and not about making you whole. I have been to others who are 'Christian' (I am Catholic) and wanted to 'forgive and forget' which meant and I quote "you forgave, so why are you bringing it up again?" Please know Dr. Renee, aka Renee, is very no-nonsense, straight-forward, always available, always there for you, will call you on your 'crap', and will remind you or tell you about your strengths...your beauty, your awesomeness. She will be sensitive, yet hold you to be strong and powerful. She will not let you fall or fail. That means she will not fail you, either. You will be a better, stronger, solid, committed person or couple because of her. I am not very articulate, so I am doing the best I can to state she is AS GOOD AS IT GETS. I have turned my life around for the better...the better for ME. I AM AN ENTIRELY IMPROVED PERSON because of one beautiful person...Dr. Renee Winters. I owe my life to her. i encourage whoever reads this, no matter what is going on, will meet Dr. Renee and know they will have their lives improved and in better space. I wish you all good energy, and peace no matter where you go in your life. ps...I could say soooo much more about Dr. Renee, so please find our for yourself if you are looking to improve your life and relationships. Big hugs to you all. read more

I have been seeing Renee for over 10 years. In the course of those years she's helped me get out of an abusive relationship, make amends with my mother and now she helps me be a better wife and mother to my son. She is absolutely amazing. She is brutally honest (which I admire most about her) she has a great sense of humor which helps you feel like you're talking with a friend more than a therapist and you can tell that she genuinely cares about you and believes in what she does. I have recommended her to many friends and family and everyone who meets her feels the same way. She is the best out there. read more

Robin was simply amazing! She is great and very knowledgeable, makes you feel comfortable and at home. Loved the service and will definitely be coming back soon. Love iiiiiit. !!!! read more

Dr. Renee winters has a 5 star on yelp for a reason. She is Amazing at what she does. I have been to many therapist in my life but Dr. Renee Winters was definitely the best & most helpful Therapist I have ever been to. When my husband & I were having a difficult time, we went to her for help and during our sessions she gave us the tools/ lessons/ perspective that we will use for a lifetime. Sessions with Dr. Winters are extremely valuable for anyone, I found her though yelp, and I am so glad that I did. I highly recommend her. #~she also has written a book that is on amazon. read more

I can't say enough great things about Dr. Winters. She definitely helped in saving my marriage and made my wife and I's marriage stronger. She is very straight forward and genuinely wants to help you so that you can help yourself. She doesn't want to just keep you on the couch week after week, but wants to help you build a strong self sustaining marriage. I loved that she was unbiased and took what my wife and I had to say equally as important. She is an amazing person and therapist and I am so thankful for the day that I first found her. read more

Renee changed my perspectives and saved my marriage of 20 years. I tried other options before my wife identified Renee. I was a hard person to engage with and I was clearly on the defensive in our first session. However, Renee quickly found a way to get to me and ensure I challenged my distorted approach to our couple. She has the perfect mix of push and coach. She really got to me despite me consistently challenging her through the process. Renee really cares about her patients. When she says she wants to build trust, she means it and knows why it is so important to making progress. I would recommend Renee to any hesitant husband out there who is like me, hard to convince, analytical and doubtful. She is the right solution to complex dynamics and, if you truly follow her lead, she will help you save your marriage and preserve your family. read more
