 Wendy Biondi, LMHC, offers individual therapy for children, adolescents and adults as well as counseling for traditional and nontraditional families and couples. Her therapeutic approach incorporates a variety of strength-based techniques to facilitate self-awareness and promote personal healing, growth and transformation.
Ms. Biondi has extensive experience in treating and assisting individuals struggling with depression; anxiety and panic; unresolved trauma; low self-esteem; specific women's and men's issues; grief and loss; relationship/emotional intimacy struggles; life transitions such as divorce, mid-life issues, and career changes; blended family friction; parent/child conflict; work related stress and burnout; anger and other behavioral challenges; and co-occurring disorders.
The foundation of her approach is the belief that thoughts and feelings create reactive behavior that play a primary role in the repeated difficulties that individual's experience. Coupled with this belief is the heart of her therapy which is to listen, understand and provide support in a genuinely honest, warm, and compassionate way. This unique balance helps to develop a person's insight into their life situation, increase motivation toward change, and empower an inner sense of self.
Ms. Biondi will collaborate with her clients to develop an individualized plan for life changes which will include a wide array of problem-solving strategies and skill building techniques. Every client will have the right, and will be encouraged, to be directly involved in every phase of their counseling experience.
