Psychotherapy supports personal growth and emotional strength; it helps people solve problems and it builds motivation to get life-work done. I meet each person at their unique place on life's journey to discover how they want to grow. I support and promote growth. My specialty is psychotherapy with all adults. I work with people who have depression, bipolar, anxiety, insomnia, ADHD, PTSD, Eating Disorders. I have skills helping those with emotional problems, family conflict and relationship stress. A trusting relationship with a psychologist can help you know yourself better, set goals and create change. No Advantage Plans.

I work with children, adolescents, and adults to provide individual, couple, and family therapy.

I believe in being supportive and empowering clients in their journey to improve. I enjoy using cognitive behavioral techniques to address concerns such as self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and general life stressors.

Hello and thank you for looking at my page. Some say the hardest thing to do is what you are doing right now by starting the process for making change. My name is Wendy Allen and I am a therapist in the Rochester area that focuses on bringing awareness to how our thoughts lead to assumptions and beliefs which results in emotions and behaviors.

I work with people on a variety of issues, typically those struggling with anxiety/depression, stress management, substance use and addiction. There are moments in our lives that feel extra stressful or overwhelming and this is perhaps more true today given these especially challenging times. This is when having strong, healthy coping strategies and the right tools can help us feel back in control with the ability to better manage life again.

I enjoy working with people who want to learn about themselves and their relationships and develop insight into their behavior. It isn't easy to ask for help. Sometimes, when we aren't able to solve things on our own, therapy can be a great resource. Clients tell me that I help them make the changes they want. I believe in providing you a safe and supportive place to explore your life. I have twenty-five years of experience and am committed to assisting you understand yourself and grow. People I've worked with have described me as warm and easy to talk to.

I am not able to accept new clients at this time. Are you tired of feeling overwhelmed? It can be so scary and frustrating to think that your mind, emotions, and behaviors are out of your control. Whether this is a new feeling or you've struggled for a long time, I'm so glad you are reading my profile and thinking about seeking help. My focus is on empowering my clients to achieve their full potential and lead more rewarding lives. I am committed to providing a warm, caring environment where we can work together to clarify your struggles and set manageable, attainable goals.

I enjoy working with adult individuals and building a safe therapeutic environment for them to explore their strengths, barriers, and potential. I assist individuals to enhance their self-esteem, self-worth, and also validate their experiences. A common practice that I utilize is guiding individuals to identify, restructure, and replace unhealthy thought patterns and behaviors with healthy empowering ones. In addition, I work with individuals on building and positively engaging with a support network, which is crucial in the recovery process.

Counseling is a journey of self-discovery and can be an intimidating experience. The decision to seek counseling is a courageous one and finding a counselor who is compassionate, empathetic, and experienced is imperative to your success. Regardless of whether you are experiencing daily stress due to work, school, family, or relationships, or struggling with depression, grief/loss, illness, anxiety, identity challenges, or trauma, your treatment will be specific to you or your family.
