Great to meet you!

Hi there! My name is Wendy Ivey and I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and Registered Play Therapist. As a parent, former elementary educator and school counselor of 27 years, I have had the unique experience of walking alongside children and families during many challenging seasons. By working together to get to the bottom of challenges, children can achieve greater success at school and family units can experience greater joy.

A bit about my approach to therapy

As a Registered Play Therapist, supporting children ages 5-12 and families during difficult seasons using Nondirective and Directive Play Therapy is my passion.

What you can expect from our first session

Building a Strong Therapeutic Relationship in a space that is full of acceptance, empathy, respect and playfulness is where the magic lies in a child and family unit's steps toward wellness.


Wendy's style is

Creative
Warm
Solution-oriented
