I believe in healing that gets to the root - the best healing happens when therapy involves compassionate, deep self-reflection and honest, real conversations in a safe environment. I work with clients and their partners and family members to heal from difficult past experiences and current conflicts toward brighter futures, stronger relationships, and a more secure sense of self.

Working as a therapist for over 10 years, I have always been passionate about helping people overcome their challenges and achieve their goals. I have experience working with people who are facing issues of depression, anxiety, ADHD, addiction, and trauma. I have worked with various populations and feel comfortable working with most everyone. I have also specialized in working with male youth who struggle with managing symptoms of impulsivity, and oppositional defiant behavior.

A good therapist-client fit is essential to getting the help you need. I have a great deal of life experience and cultural awareness from growing up in a risky area of Los Angeles, serving in the U.S. Army (9 yrs), experiencing combat and loss, living through natural disasters, working with and supporting military veterans, working as a therapist with juveniles for the State of Utah, and overcoming many of life's personal obstacles. I have a passion for working with people. I believe connecting with you is essential to treatment success. As your therapist, I promise to be there for you every step of the way.

My 10 years as a therapist have exposed me to a variety of challenges from deescalating unsafe situations to mediating complex relationship barriers. In my experience trauma can often be found at the core of depression, anxiety, family/spouse conflict, disordered eating, sexual confusion and addiction. All of these challenges can create a sense of feeling stuck, unfulfilled and alone. In some cases, these struggles can be intimidating to address without help. My belief is that therapy acts as a safe place for you to address those struggles in an empowering way; one that gives a sense of purpose, and leaves you feeling connected.

Many of us struggle with our mental health. Some of us have depression, others struggle with anxiety, many suffer with other diagnoses. For most us, there is deep seated trauma humming like a background undercurrent in our lives. These situations make it difficult to feel like you are living the life you want to live. It can be overwhelming, discouraging, and frustrating. I am here to help you make the transition to living a fuller life, find healing, and meet your goals.

Hello, I’m Wendy Haddock. I am a Clinical Mental Health Counselor at Summit View Counseling. I have over 16 years of experience working with people and families with complex mental health and substances abuse issues. I have a passion for helping people work through events and experiences in life, to find true self, and develop a path for whole person wellness.

Welcome to Summit View Counseling! We have several great professionals on our team to support and assist you. I have personally worked in the mental health field in various capacities for 17 years. I have come to understand the needs of individuals, couples, and families as they face challenges which can seem overwhelming.  I appreciate the impact of evidenced based psychotherapies in helping the clients I work with achieve the results they are seeking. I also recognize the power of being present and flexible as needs in treatment evolve.

Life is hard! No way around it. Many people are looking for change, peace, love, hope, or even a rekindling of old passions. I truly believe that we are capable of great things, relationships can be mended, goals can be accomplished, and new perspectives can be achieved. Having gone through many diverse experiences in my life I believe that I have the ability to empathize with what you're going through. In addition, my education, training, and experience has afforded me the knowledge and ability to assist you in finding the happy ending you are seeking.

As a first-generation Asian immigrant to the U.S. and an ex-Mormon, I understand the difficulty of blending cultures, values, and faith transition. It is important to me to help individuals feel heard and give them a sense of belonging. I want my clients to be able to tell their stories without being judged and live fully without shame and guilt. In our sessions, you will gain a new perspective on yourself and find the confidence to take on any challenges in your life. I want you to be able to view your experiences through a different lens.

Suffering is a universal, human experience, and we try to ameliorate our suffering in the best ways we know how. Despite our best efforts, suffering can remain, and in response, we may fight it harder. We fight because we want to heal and be happy, but it can seem like the more we fight, the more pain we feel. We reach for happiness and healing and it feels like it is always out of reach. I believe that the path to healing, though seemingly counterintuitive, often includes a process of letting go, allowing discomfort, and pouring our energy, time, attention, and resources into meaningful directions.

By the end of each appointment with me, I want you to feel like you’ve been heard and that you’ve gained something valuable, whether that’s new coping skills or an improved sense of peace or strength. Your trauma is stored in your nervous system, so I utilize therapies like EMDR to work to relieve you of your burden. My training is in grief and trauma-related symptoms like anxiety, depression, PTSD, self-harm, and suicidality. I provide trauma-focused therapy to support you as we work together to reach your goals.
