René Foster is a lady who loves the Lord and is committed to serving Him by serving others.I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in Speech Disorders, and a Master of Arts in Counseling with emphasis on children.  Combining the skills, I’ve learned in these two disciplines I enjoy serving adults and youth through counseling. In 1991 I joined the inner city staff of Campus Crusade for Christ now called Cru, where I have served in the inner cities of Chicago, IL and Atlanta, GA as an inner city missionary.  While serving in the Atlanta I saw the need for a counselor who those in the inner city felt comfortable with and understood by.  In 2002 I began my graduate studies while working full time as the S.A.Y. Yes! (Save America’s Youth) City Coordinator.  In 2006 I graduated with my Master of Counseling.  I continued to serve those in the inner city of Atlanta as the S.A.Y. Yes! City Coordinator as well as provided affordable counseling services through one of our partner churches.In 2017, I left Cru staff, and relocated back to Colorado Springs, where I grew up, so I could help care for my aging mother.  Since being in Colorado Springs, I have worked at Two Cor, Griffith Center and Consultants for Children in order to earn the needed hours to move from LPCC status to getting my LPC license.  I have also taken classes in pursuit of a LAC license.When I am not working as a counselor or helping my mother, I enjoy serving my community as a member of the Hillside Advisory Team.  As a HAT member I have been able to help provide funding for organizations serving families in the Hillside Community.  I also enjoy helping others to grow in their relationship with Christ by teaching Bible study through my local church.

I am a lady who loves the Lord and am committed to serving Him by serving people.  I am passionate about serving underserved youth and adults by helping them come to a place of emotional and physical resilience and wellness.  I encourage and build up individuals while incorporating games to teach life skills and principles, particularly with youth.  Through a cognitive behavioral approach, I seek to understand the underlying causes that drive behaviors.  In partnership therapist and patient work together on goals patients wish to accomplish.
