Getting to know Wendy Gardner
IMPORTANT: Thriveworks cannot provide services to clients with Medicaid coverage. If you have Medicaid, please contact your plan directly to find an in-network provider.
For all other insurance plans, Thriveworks will verify your benefits after you book through Zocdoc. If verification isn't completed before your visit, you'll be charged our self-pay rate of $200 for that session.
AFTER YOU BOOK: Complete these steps to avoid cancellation or being switched to self-pay.
1. Check your email for instructions to set up your Thriveworks account. Within your Thriveworks’ account, sign consent forms and add a valid credit card, which will be automatically charged for copays, fees, post-insurance balances, and self-pay amounts.
2. If using insurance, upload clear photos of the front and back of your insurance card.
3. Expect a confirmation call from our team to verify your information and answer questions.
CANCELLATION POLICY: Provide 48 hours advance notice to avoid the $135 late cancellation fee.
I am a licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW) with 21 years of experience supporting individuals navigating grief, life transitions, anxiety, depression, and neurodivergence, including autism and ADHD. My approach is grounded, relational, and trauma-informed, integrating nervous system regulation and mindfulness to help clients feel steadier, more empowered, and supported in their growth. I earned my master's degree in social work from the University of Alabama and hold a bachelor's degree in psychology. With a background in hospice and bereavement care, I integrate evidence-based practices with strength-based and mindfulness-based approaches to support emotional regulation and resilience. If you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or ready for change, you don't have to navigate it alone. I offer a calm, compassionate space where you can feel heard and understood while building practical tools for lasting growth.
