Gretchen Wesche

I bring 36 years of licensed experience to my work as a therapist and strive to create a space that feels warm, welcoming, and easy to enter. I am direct, friendly, and open, and I believe therapy is most effective when clients feel comfortable showing up exactly as they are. I work with individuals facing a wide range of needs and life experiences, meeting each person wherever they are on their journey.

My practice includes treating anxiety, mood disorders, women’s issues, work-related stress, and supporting overall wellness. I also specialize in working with adolescents and teens ages 16 and older. My focus is on supporting the whole person, with attention to both mental and physical well-being.

My approach to therapy is holistic, compassionate, and individualized. I believe emotional health is closely connected to physical well-being, and I work with clients from a whole-person perspective. I tailor treatment to each client’s needs, goals, and strengths while offering a supportive, practical space for growth.

I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), psychodynamic psychotherapy, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness-based approaches. These modalities help clients better understand themselves, build coping skills, and create meaningful change in their lives.

Clients can expect their first session to feel warm, supportive, and welcoming. My goal is to help you feel comfortable, heard, and respected from the start. We will begin by discussing what brings you to therapy, the challenges you may be facing, and what you hope to gain from the process.

The first session is also an opportunity to begin building a connection and exploring how we can work together in a way that feels helpful to you. I strive to create an environment where you can open up at your own pace and feel supported wherever you are on your journey.
