Hello there, I am a licensed professional counselor licensed in Louisiana and Texas with over 17 years’ experience working as a therapist and art therapy certified life coach. I have also recently completed advanced studies in naturopathic medicine (natural medicine), with a specialization in behavioral health disorders. I have supported clients with multiple concerns, including behavioral modification support, impulsivity, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting support, sexual dysfunction, intimacy challenges, sexually addictive behaviors, career challenges, and trauma.
My counseling style is warm, encouraging, and supportive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach to supporting clients combines cognitive-behavioral therapy, client-centered, solution-focused counseling, and holistic (natural) interventions to support your therapeutic goals . This space is designed to support you with addressing your expressed goals, and I will tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life. Please know, you are not alone, I am here as part of your team to support, empower, and share valuable strategies you as you begin this quest to being your best!
I look forward to connecting soon!

I feel so incredibly lucky to have found someone who understands both queer and military struggles. Finding understanding for my issues meant going to one source or another for a long time, because finding someone who knows both is rare. I hope every LGBTQ+ person in the military finds someone like her.

I really love that I got matched with Mrs. Wendy. It’s the second time I’ve tried therapy, but the first time I’ve felt heard and been provided constructive feedback and questions. Really going to try working out keeping her as a therapist bc she’s been that wonderful and positive for me and my experience so far!

Wendy is amazing. I am very thankful she’s my therapist. I feel like she’s a long time friend, she makes me feel at ease and comfortable. I look forward to meeting with her every week. I get professional expertise and knowledge from her that I’m sure I couldn’t do just by internet research and self healing. I’ve had only three sessions with her yet I am already seeing such difference. I feel like she’s very attentive and she really listens. She shares with me real life experiences and makes her very relatable. I appreciate Wendy so much and would recommend her in a heartbeat!

Words can’t describe what Wendy has done and been the last five months. She’s somehow managed to turn me from someone who was terrified to talk and unwilling to go go on camera, to someone who started to look forward to our Tuesday sessions and the ability to find my own voice. I have become increasingly more open and willing to share past trauma and that is all down to Wendy’s insane ability to make me feel calm and safe. Wendy goes above and beyond. No words can express how thankful I am to have stumbled upon Wendy! So a simple thank you will have to suffice! Thank you ♥️

Wendy is a very friendly person, even though this is the first time I ever talk to a councellor, I felt realy comfortable expressing myself with her. She understands exactly what Im trying to say and that was enough to make me feel better from the first session. I'm glad I started this journey with her. And I'm looking forward for the rest of it.

I have never thought that I would learn such great ways of thinking in such a short amount, Wendy does not only feel like a therapist, but she feels like a friend! I'm always excited to hear from her, she gives me great advice and last but not least she always encourages me in the best ways, I don't know what I would do without her, I'm confident that she is the best therapist I could have gotten assigned to!

Written on Jul 19, 2021 after therapy with Wendy for 2 weeks on issues concerning stress, anxiety, relationship issues, and coping with life changes
Wendy has been extremely helpful in my personal development towards regaining a sense of self confidence after a sudden life change. She is extremely empathetic but also manages to challenge my thinking processes with introspective questions and objective setting practices. She is very easy to communicate with and carries herself with a professional yet warm and familiar energy that one would find in a close friend or relative. She is open to sharing her own personal experiences as a tool for reference and as example of her understanding. Overall I would highly recommend Wendy Durant to any of my friends seeking to improve their mental and emotional health.
