Wendy Petzel

I am very personable and warm, you will feel right at home in my office, or online. I have 30+ years of experience. I am wholistic: spirit, soul, body from a Judeo/Christian perspective. I have two Master's degrees and a PhD in Theology of Restoration. I specialize in working with women with trauma, relationship struggles, grief and loss, depression and anxiety. Also, specialize in working with couples in which I utilize: Gottman, Imago, personality tests, SYMBIS (save your marriage before it starts).

I love to ask questions for clarification on your presenting issues. Then will get background information. I will see if you are a good candidate for EMDR. We will develop a treatment plan and prioritize focus of treatment. With couples, will also do background information gathering, and treatment plan. Focus more on skill building in communication, addressing conflict, identifying triggers. I also encourage "High energy fun" for couples. Building a "relationship house" the Gottman way, etc..

Will engage with you to determine what you are really looking for. Empower you to work with me on creating our treatment goals. Provide a safe environment for sharing. If your first time counseling give you an idea of what to expect.
