“Wendi is a compassionate therapist. She has worked with my daughter for over a year now and has been able to give her the right diagnosis, which other therapists missed. She is trained in EMDR therapy and that has been a great addition to the regular verbal therapy Wendi is so skilled at. She asks thoughtful questions and really seek to understand. She also gives tools to help process feelings. She emails handouts that support what has been taught in therapy. Wendi is a stellar therapist!”

Getting to know Wendi Witherell
Hi there, I'm Wendi!
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a Master’s in Clinical Social Work from California State University, San Bernardino, I am committed to supporting individuals in navigating life's challenges and fostering emotional well-being. With expertise in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and trauma-informed care, I work collaboratively with adult clients to address mental health concerns, including trauma, anxiety, depression, and stress-related conditions.
My approach
I believe healing occurs through integrating mind, body, and spirituality. EMDR helps clients process and heal from past trauma, reducing emotional intensity and facilitating healthier responses to triggers. CBT assists clients in identifying and reframing unhelpful thoughts, empowering positive changes in behavior and emotions. My trauma-informed care ensures interventions are sensitive to each client’s unique experiences, creating a safe environment to explore emotions and develop coping strategies.
My focus
I work with adolescents and adults to address anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, and other stress-related issues. Using a compassionate, client-centered approach, I draw on evidence-based therapies to help individuals navigate challenges, build coping skills, and enhance emotional well-being.
My communication style
I am passionate about creating a therapeutic space where clients feel heard, validated, and empowered to work toward lasting change. Whether dealing with past trauma, anxiety, or seeking greater emotional health, I am here to walk alongside you on your journey to healing and growth.

She understands the things I’ve gone through, and that I am currently going through and working on. We did EMDR therapy, which I believe had really helped me to process traumas I’ve survived at different times of my life that were still affecting me today. She’s helped me feel better about myself, and given me tools to use to try to keep myself on track and to be mindful. I still have more issues to work on, and improvements that I need to do, to help me navigate my future.
