Welcome! My name is Marlene Wendel, and I'm a telehealth-based LCSW working out of Santa Rosa, California. I'm here to help you heal through your challenges with anxiety, depression, grief and loss, and PTSD. Over these past 9 years of my career, I have been focusing more and more on helping my clients shed burdens from the past and gain a sense of mastery in their lives. I use modern and effective approaches like EMDR, IFS, ACT, CBT, mindfulness, and somatic tools which, in combination, really get at the source of our stuck-ness to find that there's a healthy, centered sense of self inside us that can meet the challenges of life.
I bring an open, honest, and especially caring presence to clients seeking help from me. I began my career as a therapist for cancer patients and their loved ones, and I have since expanded my view to help folks from all walks of life. I focus on therapies that bring swift relief in the here-and-now while healing long-standing wounds from the past.
You deserve to live a life of meaning and connection. Your anxieties and roadblocks do not define you. Your life is ready for you to take that step forward: we will look inward, take perspective, and help you make those important emotional shifts on that path towards your bright future. Please reach out for a free consultation any time.

EMDR and IFS guide my practice, starting from the belief that the answers to your problems lie within you. EMDR will help you master emotional stability while processing past trauma. IFS lets you explore and heal the different parts of yourself, fostering a stronger sense of self. Together, these approaches empower you to feel in control, make aligned decisions, and build deeper connections.
