Ronni Arensberg, Psy.D., LP

Psychologist; Clinical Coordinator

Hi, my name is Ronni and I am a staff member in the Counseling Center. I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist in North Dakota. I received a Bachelor's degree from New York University (New York, NY), and a Master's degree and Psy.D. from Florida Institute of Technology (Melbourne, FL). I am very interested in mindfulness-based psychotherapy and meditation, as well as issues of peace and diversity.

"If you move into pure awareness in the midst of pain, even for the tiniest moment, your relationship with your pain is going to shift right in that very moment. It is impossible for it not to change because the gesture of holding it in awareness, even if sustained for only a second or two, already reveals its larger dimensionality. And that shift in your relationship with the experience gives you more degrees of freedom in your attitude and in your actions in a given situation, whatever it is...even if you don't know what to do."--Jon Kabat-Zinn

"Life can be found only in the present moment. The past is gone, the future is not yet here, and if we do not go back to ourselves in the present moment, we cannot be in touch with life."--Thich Nhat Hanh

"The beauty of life is, while we cannot undo what is done, we can see it, understand it, learn from it and change. So that every new moment is spent not in regret, guilt, fear or anger, but in wisdom, understanding and love."--Jennifer Edwards
