      <image:title>About Wendy - My Approach</image:title>
      <image:caption>You can heal your life. I believe that you have the innate ability to heal yourself, find inner peace, and thrive in this world. It is my goal for you to feel heard, validated, and supported so you can successfully navigate any challenge that may arise. My 20+ years of experience includes treating a variety of issues such as: anxiety, depression, relationship conflicts, family of origin concerns, trauma, stress, self-esteem and self-worth, grief, life transitions, and identity work. While I generally follow your lead in counseling sessions, I also bring my intuition and curiosity to our sessions. You’ll come to learn, I can be very perceptive and intuitive, which greatly benefits my clients when I am able to sense deeper work needing to be done to achieve greater results.

      <image:title>About Wendy - Hi! I’m Wendy.</image:title>
      <image:caption>I’m so glad you’re here. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor providing telehealth therapy for women in Pennsylvania, Maryland, and South Carolina. I'm an empath, a highly sensitive person, lover of nature and animals, wellness enthusiast, and a huge fan of self-discovery!  I love helping others explore the root causes of what has been causing them distress, unhappiness, or confusion.  Look, life can feel tough and we all struggle at times.  From difficult childhoods to stressful lives and relationships, each of us has a story to tell.  I want to know your story. Therapy is a space for healing, hope, growth, and discovery.  You just have to show up for yourself and put in the work.  Don't worry, I'll be with you on your journey so you don't have to do it alone!   I’ve learned over the years that there is so much more to us than just thoughts and feelings. We’re complex. We’re fascinating! That’s why I whole-heartedly believe in addressing the mind, body, spirit, and energy of each individual. In therapy, I truly meet you where you are; mentally, spiritually, emotionally, and physically. Through integrative and holistic practices, I help you deal with life stressors in a gentle, compassionate way.  My goal is to always offer you a safe space to have a voice, be heard, and feel understood.  You are welcome to open up about anything and everything with me! Is therapy easy? Not always.  There will be storms to be weathered, hurts to revisit, and changes to be made. But investing in yourself is 100% worth it all of the time!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Telehealth - Telehealth</image:title>
      <image:caption>With telehealth, you no longer have to struggle with transportation to a session or worry about confidentiality walking into a therapist’s office. You truly can receive counseling from a location of your choosing, whether it’s your bedroom, car, living room, etc. For telehealth appointments, it is best to be in a location that provides strong WiFi connection or use of an Ethernet cord to decrease the risk of any technical issues. You will be given a unique link to my confidential client portal that you will use for each session. This link can be used to meet with me from any device that is most convenient for you. When you schedule a telehealth appointment, I encourage you to find a space where you have total privacy from others and minimal distractions. It’s preferable to wear headphones if you’re concerned about others hearing our conversation. Overall, it’s a great way to connect and do the work you’ve been wanting to do!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Rates and Insurance - Insurance</image:title>
      <image:caption>I do not currently accept insurance, but can provide out-of-network superbills. There are some reasons that I have decided to do so, and would like to share these with you: Diagnosis: Insurance companies typically require a diagnosis to be made after the first session. This means that after meeting with you for 30-50 minutes, I will be expected to diagnose you based on criteria in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual. To be fair to you as the client, as well as be graceful with myself as we continue to become acquainted with one another, I do not believe it is appropriate to have to diagnose someone with less than an hour of interaction. Confidentiality: Insurance companies are able to request your records at any time and for any reason. Because they are paying for services rendered, they are subject to access your health records as desired or needed. By paying for services yourself, your therapy records will not be released to any party without a court order present. Treatment Timeline: Insurance companies typically set a finite amount of therapy sessions to be financially covered. This can be anywhere from five to twenty sessions per year. By limiting therapy to a timeline set by a third party, rather than between you and I, it can sometimes prevent therapy goals from being met, or put undue pressure on your timeline of growth and healing. Out-of-network superbills are receipts of service that can be provided to you, that you can submit to your insurance company. Insurance companies can be quite unpredictable in terms of their reimbursement rate, and I would encourage you to move forward with therapy only if my full rate is something that you can comfortably afford, with any reimbursements from insurance serving as an ‘added bonus’ of sorts. I would be happy to answer any further questions in regards to this, and will do my best to assist clients in navigating this process.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Rates and Insurance - Cancellation Policy</image:title>
      <image:caption>If you are unable to attend a session, please make sure you cancel at least 24 hours beforehand. Otherwise, you will be charged for the full rate of the session.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Rates and Insurance - Payment</image:title>
      <image:caption>Payment is due at time of service. When enrolling in services, I will store your preferred debit or credit card on file. This will ease the process of payments and allow us to focus on more important things, like you!</image:caption>
