Getting to know Wendy Chryst

Greetings, I am an expert listener in a supportive and judgment-free safe space. I am an active Therapist with integrity and will help guide you on your road to change. I practice that we are all 100% responsible for the choices that we make and our ability to be better humans. I believe that we all have the power to heal ourselves through the expansion and alignment of our true, authentic selves. If you are already a Psychiatry and Behavioral Health patient of Emplify Health (formerly known as Bellin-Gundersen Lutheran), it is a conflict of interest, and I am unable to be your provider. My approach My approach to therapy is based on the needs of the client. I most frequently utilize cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, as both modalities help to build a true mutually respectful relationship in which we can reach your goals together. My focus I specialize in guiding Adults through many life phases. The most common experiences of Anxiety, Depression, Grief, and despair have become normal in our society. I am masterful at assisting through the most difficult relationship communications. Especially those inner conflicts we often carry within that make expressing feelings, thoughts, and behaviors, or finding value in yourself, challenging. My communication style I am compassionate and direct with my communication. I am here to help you discover and leverage your personal strengths. My journey to mental healthcare With over 30 years of experience in the Mental Health Field, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Central Wisconsin. I frequently work with clients in Upper and Lower Michigan via Telehealth. I have always known that being a therapist is my life's work. It is meaningful and fulfilling to be able to guide people who are in pain to a place of peace. I am a dedicated and compassionate clinician and am humbled by the number of clients in my life's work who have trusted me in their journey.
