Wendy Perello, LCSW
therapist
Wendy Perello, LCSW, has a specialized focus on helping women navigate through life transitions, trauma, career-focused stress, and self-esteem challenges. As a relationship expert, Wendy also works very closely with women who struggle with anxious attachment and other relationship difficulties.
Life is full of transitions that are challenging to navigate alone. The ever-changing priority shifts you experience in parenthood, relationships, women’s issues, your career, and caring for aging parents can feel overwhelming and leave you stuck in unhealthy thinking and behavior cycles. Wendy can help you work through your challenges and gain insight into who you are and where you’re headed using a collaborative, compassionate, and holistic approach.
Becoming a therapist in her 40s after a successful career in marketing allows Wendy to bring a wealth of life experience and empathy to her sessions. She provides a safe space where you can finally show up for yourself, freely explore who you are, and genuinely understand how you can improve your relationships with others and yourself.
what to expect
Wendy provides a warm, kind, and supportive environment where you are free to laugh, cry, express yourself, and explore who you are and where your strengths and struggles lie. Whether you are new to therapy, require a flexible schedule, or simply looking for guidance to get unstuck, sessions with Wendy are open, accepting, and non-judgmental.
Once that all-important solid and supportive therapeutic relationship is established, you and Wendy will work together to help you learn how to tap into your innate strengths and make the changes you want to see in your life. When you’re ready to do the work, and when appropriate, she’ll challenge you to integrate new tools and strategies into your daily life so you can confidently move forward and achieve the life you want.
wendy's therapy approach
Wendy will collaborate with you to uncover your underlying strengths, determine your therapeutic goals, and learn more about why you do the things you do. Her holistic approach integrates all aspects of who you are – your body, mind, and story. Once she truly comes to understand who you are, she’ll curate an ideal therapy approach that combines mindfulness, narrative therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).
When you partner with Wendy as your therapist, you’ll learn how to be more present, use your innate strengths to your advantage, and truly understand who you are on a deeper level. Together, you and Wendy will work toward achieving your goals, successfully navigating life transitions, and living authentically.
