The Renewed Founders
After years of owning and growing their individual counseling organizations and working closely together as business partners and trusted colleagues, Jeannette Alcantara and Amanda Levy prayerfully discerned the call to unite their work. With a shared vision and a deep sense of purpose placed on their hearts by God, Renewed Integrative Counseling was established.
Renewed was founded as more than a business or clinical organization. It was formed in response to a clear calling to serve the growing mental health needs of individuals and families with excellence, compassion, and faith-grounded care. Through a collaborative, integrative approach, the Renewed Compassion Team walks alongside clients as they pursue healing, growth, and restoration.

-Jeannette & Amanda
Jeannette Alcantara, LMHC-QS
Founder & CEO.
With almost 20 years of experience in the helping profession, Jeannette Alcantara has dedicated her ministry and 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 6 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 serves through writing and speaking, using these platforms to further her passion for helping others thrive in their mental health and leading souls to Jesus.
​
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 an organization, but a movement aimed at bringing healing to communities across the nation. At the core of this movement is her desire to reflect the love of Christ in every community Renewed serves. She holds that true healing begins with compassion and grace, both inward and outward, and is sustained through a renewed mind and a life anchored in purpose.
​
At the center of this mission is the Renewed Tree Model™, a framework developed by Jeannette to equip clinicians in providing comprehensive, biblically informed mental health care. The model helps therapists guide clients in healing from deep-rooted trauma, both from childhood and adulthood, while strengthening their ability to cope by replacing unhealthy patterns with healthy, evidence-based organizations. It also emphasizes relational growth, encouraging clients to assess and build healthier connections. Grounded in both Scripture and clinical wisdom, the Renewed Tree Model™ invites clients to also discover their core values and God-given purpose, leading to a life marked by clarity, restoration, and enduring fulfillment.
