Wendy is an awesome person and therapist. She is very smart and she has the ability to cut right to the heart of the matter. She isn’t just a passive listener, but an active coach who really encourages you to look at different angles; she pushes you to face stuff. I have had a lot of different therapists and Wendy is the best one. She is easy to talk with, too. Wendy is kind, flexible and chill, while also being sharp and attentive. I have nothing but high praise for WF!!

Hi. I have quite an extensive work history in the social service field all leading to my present and most rewarding position as an Independent Clinical Social Worker/Therapist. All my years of being in this field has given me the opportunity to work with a very diverse population, including the LGBTQIA community.
I particularly enjoy working with people who struggle with interpersonal conflict whether it is with self, a friend, spouse/partner, professionals, parents, children, teachers/professor’s, etc., which all can be very difficult to maneuver through at times. These conflicts can cause immense anxiety, depression, confusion, sometimes leading to substance use and other issues/behaviors that you may want to address. My treatment approach is varied and includes a humanistic one of acceptance allowing for a building of trust and collaboration between us as well as evidence based practices of cognitive behavioral techniques, psycho-dynamic therapy, and motivational interviewing.
"While there's life, there's hope" I look forward to hearing from you!

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Wendy has given me a safe space to heal and grow with her. Wendy is a skilled therapist with a keen sensitivity, insight, and ability to support and guide me through past trauma and current issues. She is a wonderful woman and therapist.
She is amazing! She listens to everything I have to say and really connects to what I am feeling. I like how she supports me and respects my opinions. She has helped me so much and has really helped me take the load off my shoulders.
What an insightful pleasure it has been to work with you over the last month. You have helped me get a clearer picture on what my work is, and I think that the challenge to trust myself is quite worthwhile. I thank you for your consistently accurate reflection and your unwavering respect for who I am as a unique individual.
Wendy listens attentively and asks very thoughtful questions. She is respectful of my perspective but also gently challenges it to promote deeper understanding.
