About Me

Michelle Brenes, PsyD, is a pediatric psychologist who sees patients in the Pediatric Nephrology and Hypertension Program. Specifically, she provides care to patients receiving kidney dialysis treatment, awaiting a kidney transplant, recovering from a transplant, or transitioning to an adult care team. These patients are typically on kidney dialysis, awaiting a kidney transplant, recovering from a transplant or transitioning to an adult care team.

Dr. Brenes personalizes care to the child’s needs, focusing on concerns such as adjusting to a new diagnosis, dealing with pain, managing anxiety about upcoming medical procedures, maintaining medical adherence, and strengthening family support. She is also a consultation-liaison psychologist who provides evaluations and treatment recommendations for hospitalized children who present with concerns related to their emotional and/or behavioral functioning. Dr. Brenes provides this service at the request of a child’s attending physician during their admission.
