Getting to know Wendy Gudiel

Hi there, I'm Wendy! My name is Wendy Gudiel, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I earned my Master’s in Social Work from California State University, Northridge, and furthered my education at the University of Southern California. I currently work with adults of all ages and specialize in anxiety, trauma, ADHD, and parenting. I strive to create a safe space for my clients to help them progress and start seeing changes. I also tailor each individual’s treatment by utilizing different approaches based on their unique needs. My approach My therapeutic approach includes elements from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Seeking Safety, and trauma-informed interventions. I use Strengths-Based Theory and Attachment Theory to guide treatment and empower individuals to understand themselves and their needs. My focus I work with adults struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, relationship problems, and family conflict. I typically invite clients to lead the sessions, taking us on a journey to explore the areas causing their symptoms. I strive to provide a safe space where clients can discuss problems, gain insight, and strengthen resilience to make meaningful changes. My communication style My communication style is personable and accommodating. I like using humor to build a therapeutic alliance, decrease anxiety, and help clients better understand the concepts discussed in session. I pride myself on my ability to listen without judgment and strive to make clients feel safe sharing their stories. My journey to mental healthcare I entered this profession out of a passion for helping others become the best versions of themselves. Facing many challenges in my personal life has strengthened my empathy and understanding of others’ struggles. I’ve had the privilege of working with different age groups and populations facing complex challenges.
