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.

"View all problems as challenges.
Look upon negativities that arise as opportunities to learn and to grow.
Don't run from them, condemn yourself, or bury your burden in saintly silence.
You have a problem? Great.
More grist for the mill. Rejoice, dive in, and investigate."

-Bhante Henepola Gunaratana, Mindfulness in Plain English

"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, Arriving At Your Own Door
