Motivational Interviewing Therapists in 98321

I'm not just like a regular therapist, I'm a cool therapist – Hello and welcome! You’ve made it to the right place. We can all benefit from having a person to talk to and I can help support you through all of life’s transitions. I specialize in helping veterans, first responders, and their families as I have close ties to this community. I spent many times on the receiving end as a friend or loved one talking through the everyday stresses that come with the job. As a responder, you sign on the dotted line to serve and protect the community but do not sign up for accompanying traumatic stress.

Availability for new clients. Are you feeling stuck, lost or unsatisfied with how things are going in your life? I bring experience to help individuals move forward, improve their quality of life, and accomplish goals when it seems most difficult. I enjoy helping people navigate through challenging times in their lives in ways that work best for each person with a focus on their unique strengths and abilities. I specialize in individuals with disabilities such as: developmental, intellectual, emotional, or physical.

Hi I'm Wendy. I have a private practice covering NY, WA, and AZ with Madison Galliano, Chelsea Vona, Kristin Meiner, Ridhima Malhotra, Madga Folk, Donny Mak, Krista Arnold, Jessica Drake, and Zolie Potter. As a sexologist, I help clients through sexual trauma, feelings of anxiety, fear, or shame related to sexuality and intimacy, addressing gender identity and sexual orientation, relationship design, church wounds, improve communication, heal issues stemming from sexual difficulties including poor body image, coping and living with STI's, exploring ENM, and kink/BDSM dynamics.

Therapy is a a collaborative process in which we use your own strengths to help you live the life you desire. Perhaps something is in your way, blocking you from living a life where you feel content and empowered. Therapy can help. I am passionate about working with anyone who wants something in themselves or their lives to change. My experience includes (but is not limited to) working with individuals who have experienced trauma including combat and sexual assault, life transitions including postpartum, infidelity, anxiety, mood dis-regulation, low self worth, suicidal ideation, self harm behavior, codependency and psychosis.

Sometimes life throws us challenges that we struggle to handle. Sometimes friends and family are able to help. However, there are times when we need additional help. In therapy, we will work together to help you find your strengths to work through the challenges you are facing, that might seem too overwhelming to handle. I use a variety of therapeutic methods to help find the one that best fits you and your needs.

“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you”-Maya Angelou. It can be difficult taking the first step to seek out help when life seems unmanageable. However, it is often more difficult to work through the issues causing this disruption alone. Whether this is due to limited support in your life, or feeling that you have to take care of it yourself, you do not have to work through it alone.

There are times in our lives when we experience emotional distress which makes meeting our everyday responsibilities challenging or interferes with our happiness. Emotional distress may be due to a transition such as a job loss or even a new profession, the loss of a loved one or the birth of a newborn, a relationship breakup or the start of a new relationship, or it could be trauma you have experienced now manifesting itself as emotional distress in your life. There are times when we can handle the negative emotions we experience such as sadness, emptiness, loneliness, or anxiousness and other times we may need some help.

We all need a place where we feel safe. Where we can speak freely without fear of judgment. Where we can talk about the difficult things we’re facing. You’ll find that safe space here with me.
