Nick Wenzel is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California who has been practicing since 2017. Nick provides himself in a genuine way and helps people explore their ideas and reality, and through his strong belief in unique individuals, he supports and provides a confidence that allows others to develop greater agency.
