Getting to know Wenndy Contreras

I’m Wendy Contreras, a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 13 years of experience helping adults and adolescents navigate ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, and life transitions. I have a special interest in working with individuals who feel overwhelmed, scattered, stuck, or frustrated with themselves and want practical tools to feel more focused, confident, and in control of their lives. My approach is warm, collaborative, and down-to-earth. Therapy with me is not just about talking through problems—we work together to understand patterns, build concrete skills, and create changes you can actually use in everyday life. I integrate evidence-based approaches including CBT, ACT, DBT skills, mindfulness, self-compassion, EMDR, and somatic techniques, tailoring treatment to each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. I especially enjoy working with clients with ADHD and anxiety, including those who may have spent years feeling misunderstood, unmotivated, overly sensitive, disorganized, or constantly behind despite trying very hard. My goal is to help you better understand how your brain works, reduce shame and self-criticism, and develop strategies that feel realistic and sustainable. I also provide therapy in both English and Spanish and strive to create a supportive, culturally responsive space where clients feel comfortable being themselves.
