Wendy White
Clinical Mental Health Counseling Student Intern
My therapeutic approach is centered around creating a safe, non-judgmental, and empathetic space for individuals to explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences. I believe that each individual is unique and deserving of respect, compassion, and understanding. I strive to empower individuals to develop coping skills, build resilience, and cultivate a sense of self-awareness and self-acceptance.
