What It Is

Renewed Counseling & Coaching is a mental health and personal growth service based in Massachusetts, USA. It provides therapy, coaching, and mentoring for adolescents and adults. Rather than a traditional online course platform, it is a counseling/coaching-style service centered on one-on-one support, goal setting, and ongoing guidance.

Core Services and Approach

Its services cover areas such as anxiety, overthinking, low motivation, trauma recovery, depression, self-identity, self-worth, ADHD, anger management, school-related issues, peer relationships, trauma, and PTSD. The approach is client-centered: the therapy component integrates evidence-based techniques, while the coaching and mentoring components focus more on empowerment, goal setting, action strategies, and accountability. The website places particular emphasis on being culturally responsive and trauma-informed, as well as following DEIPAR principles, with clear attention to identity, cultural background, and BIPOC communities.

Provider and Format

The core provider is Sherard W. L. Johnson, whom the website identifies as a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker. He has more than 25 years of experience in mental health, mentoring, and community advocacy, holds a Master’s in Social Work, and is pursuing a Doctorate in Social Work. Services are available online or in person for users in Massachusetts. A typical session lasts 50-60 minutes. Therapy is commonly scheduled weekly or biweekly, while coaching and mentoring are adjusted based on goals and progress.

Pricing and Certificates

The website does not disclose specific pricing, which is the main uncertainty when evaluating cost. It offers a free initial consultation, but does not currently accept insurance. Receipts can be provided, and users may submit claims to their insurer for possible out-of-network reimbursement. No course completion certificates or certification training information was found, so it is not suitable for learners whose main goal is to obtain a certificate.

Pros, Cons, and Who It’s For

Its strengths include a clear professional background, a broad range of services, a balance between clinical support and practical goal-oriented progress, and support for remote sessions. Its drawbacks are limited pricing transparency, no direct insurance acceptance, and a clearly local/regional service scope. It is best suited to adolescents and adults in Massachusetts who want English-language therapy, personal growth coaching, or long-term mentoring support. For users accessing from China, or those looking for structured courses or certificates, it is likely a poor fit. Accessibility from mainland China cannot be determined from the available content.
