Hello, Welcome to Grow Therapy. My name is Wendy. The best way to know if we are a good match is to talk; feel free to call me directly and leave me a message about what you are looking for, and I will call you back. We can set a time to meet in person or virtually. My direct number is 540-385-4082. The calendar on this site may not reflect my actual availability. I offer therapeutic services for adults (18 and on). I am experienced working with individuals with special needs, including those with autism and learning disabilities, and their families, who are able and willing to learn skills and participate in the therapeutic process. I have experience working with children, but I am not a play therapist. I can help children learn skills but need parents to be actively involved in the work. We each have a story, a life full of experiences and potential. However, we can become overwhelmed when dealing with life struggles and hardships that come our way. We can feel like we do not know what to do and feel lost and overwhelmed. While doing our best to live in the present, we can still get stuck in the past. Life is a gift but can be tricky and downright challenging. Sometimes we need a helping hand. That is where I might come in.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session, we will get to know one another and discuss what draws you to therapy now. We can determine if we are a "good fit" and ask each other questions before we engage in "the work" of therapy. This is an essential step in the process. We will gather information, review what you provided and talk about where we might go and how to meet your needs best and develop your road map.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

Finding a good match for yourself is essential. If you would like to talk with me and decide if you want me to join you on your journey, please call me directly for a brief consultation and to confirm appointments 540-385-4082. You can also email me at wendyswenson@proton.me.

Mindfulness and meditation practices can be useful and facilitate healing. I have used this with people of various ages and backgrounds, and they have reported it is helpful.
