Helene Brenner, Ph.D. is a psychologist in private practice in Frederick, Maryland and is a nationally known expert on women's psychology. In 1993, she started Women's Counseling and Psychological Services to focus her work more fully on women. Through one-on-one therapy, group therapy and workshops, Dr. Brenner has helped more than a thousand women of all ages and backgrounds become more attuned to their inner voice and lead more satisfying and fulfilling lives.

Dr. Brenner was born in New York City and grew up in Middletown, New York. Over the years, Dr. Brenner noticed that among women she treated, there was a difference between the freedom and equality they supposedly had, and the way they really felt inside. Many of these women still felt that giving, in a relationship, meant giving themselves away. They felt unhappy in their lives, yet believed that everyone else had it more together.

From this realization, Dr. Brenner decided to become a psychologist specializing in women's psychology to help women go from tearing themselves down, giving themselves away and boxing themselves in, to living from the wisdom and passion of their authentic selves.

Dr. Brenner received her Ph.D. in Psychology from the University of Denver. Currently, she lives with her husband, writer and fellow therapist Laurence Letich, and their two daughters in suburban Maryland.
