The Team

Christy is just the crazy animal lady who said "Hey! Why don't I bring my animals to the office with me? While I'm at it, why don't I name my company after the cats?" Thus, Ren & Rei Counseling was born. Oh! Don't forget the dog too!

Christy ​graduated from Allegheny College with a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology. She then went on to complete her Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Gannon University. 

Before moving to Pittsburgh, Christy previously worked in the highest level of care in the state for adolescents through the Enhanced Residential Units at Perseus House, in Erie, PA. While here, she has previously worked in school-based outpatient services in Pittsburgh Public School District and West Mifflin Area School District​, through Wesley Family Services and Family Behavioral Resources, respectively. 

Christy has significant experience working with ADHD, aggression and anger management, anxiety, depression, bipolar, gender and sexual identity, borderline personality disorder BPD, impulse-control issues, grief and loss, attachment related issues, peer and family issues, low self-esteem, trauma and PTSD (including sexual assault), self-harming, and suicidal ideations and attempts.

Hello everyone my name is Kaylee Tatters and I will be Christy's intern for the next year. I am currently persuing my degree in counseling psychology (which is a fancy way of saying I'm training to become a therapist) at Robert Morris University. I was born and raised in the Pittsburgh area but moved away to Erie, PA to go for my undergraduate degree. I have two cats who are my babies (Happy and Atlas). I love to read and rewatch old Disney movies. I am so excited to start this next step in my journey.
