Wendy recognizes by the time a client begins their search for a therapist, they have exhausted their own coping strategies. Their friends and family members will probably say, “You need to talk to someone,” because they too have exhausted their suggestions. Wendy believes that therapy is a different process for each client, based on their unique needs and desired outcomes. Therapy may include individual clients, spouses, or other family members, based on client preference.
