My name is Wendy Bovell, LCSW and I have been a licensed clinical social worker in Chattanooga since 2002.

Choosing a therapist can be daunting, especially with such an emphasis on pictures and videos. Let me suggest going about it more like you would in your search for a car mechanic.

As someone who has recovered from PTSD myself, I know that healing is possible. I believe that changing our thinking about what triggers mean is really helpful. Often, we avoid triggers, but my philosophy and way of being act in the opposite manner: I see triggers as messengers and an invitation to delve deeper into our unconscious. Our symptoms are a form of communication; they are intelligent and exist for a reason. By following them, we can find a path to the root cause of our suffering.

Art therapy is based on the belief that the art-making process is healing.
