Wendi Phoenix

Hi there! I am a licensed professional counselor with over 10 years of experience helping people work

through anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions. I especially enjoy working with adolescents and young adults, helping them develop the tools to navigate intense emotions and major life changes.

I earned my Master's degree in Psychology from Texas A&M University in 2012.

My style is warm, direct, and collaborative. In our first session, I'll ask a lot of questions to understand your story and what brought you to therapy, so we can build a plan that fits your life. Along the way, I encourage creative outlets like music, journaling, reading, and art to

support the work we do together.

I also believe in doing my own work. Personal growth is an ongoing, daily part of my life. I attend personal recovery groups, read recovery literature, listen to speaker recordings and attend conferences. That commitment to learning and humility is something I bring into every session with you.

Therapy with me is conversational, practical, and judgment-free. You set the pace, and we work as partners. I use a goal-oriented approach grounded in motivational interviewing, and together work on skills and strategies you can use this week and uncover deeper insights, so you feel more confident and more like your best self. I also provide affirming care for LGBTQ+ individuals.

Your first session will be relaxed and conversational. I will get to know you, what's been going on in your life,

and what you would like to change. By the end of the session, we'll have a general plan for how to reach your

goals. There's no pressure to share more than you're comfortable with, and you are welcome to

ask me questions.
