Getting to know Wendy Barajas

Hi there, I'm Wendy! My name is Wendy Barajas, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I am a first-gen Latina and have worked in community mental health for over 13 years. I hold a Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of Phoenix and a Bachelor’s degree from Mount St. Mary’s University. I specialize in anxiety, coping skills, inner child healing, and depression, as well as working with clients who have experienced complex and generational trauma. I enjoy working with children, adults, and couples. I also love seeing your fur-babies trample by during your therapy sessions! **My approach** My educational and professional background has given me experience with a vast array of clientele and has shown me the importance of flexibility and adaptability as a therapist. Feeling hopeless? Stuck? Unmotivated, scared, or uncomfortable in your own skin is a part of life that is not only unavoidable but a heavy burden to carry. I have felt every one of these things, and it is my passion to help you learn skills to move forward. You are the expert in your life, and I hope my expertise in therapy will aid you in finding the balance you seek. I also hope you’re open to a bit of comedy—laughter truly is contagious, and I integrate it into my approach. I use Solution-Focused, Narrative, Cognitive Behavioral, and Person-Centered therapies. **My focus** As a first-gen Latina, I understand the struggle of balancing bicultural identity and generational trauma. I feel most comfortable working with clients who suffer from anxiety, depression, eating disorders, workplace issues, school challenges, peer problems, sexuality concerns, and more. I work well with clients ages 5 to 99. **My communication style** I have a firm but friendly tone. I am assertive but can match my tone to yours when needed. Not every problem or need is the same, and communication styles change depending on the situation.
