Wende Pannell

My communication style

Working with clients, my sessions are casual and relaxed with a focus on listening to what people have to say and honoring their experiences and beliefs.

My journey to mental healthcare

I spent several years as a mother and working in a variety of jobs, and then decided I wanted to go back to school to earn my counseling degree. I wrote my doctoral thesis on parents who are raising children with mental illness.

My goals for you

In working with clients, I want to focus on what is your goal and then help you decide whether that is attainable and realistic. If a goal isn't attainable, we look at what comes closer to what you want to do or how you want your life to be, and how we make that work for you.

Our first session

You should expect a caring, empathetic person who can listen as well as talk and who will do the best they can to meet you where you're at.
