Wendy is always supportive, does what is best for me and provides options for how to help versus telling me what to do. She is someone I can go back to again and again regarding any issues I may have and refers me to those regarding other specialties she may not have.

Wendy has made my journey through mental health issues something to look forward to. She provides me with helpful insight and never judges me for things I have done in my past. She's kind and concerned, though she probably has dozens of clients. I feel like she really pays attention to my life's story.

She is amazing. She asks plenty of questions to get to know you, and what your situation is. She will make sure you are doing okay (having had panic attacks before because of what has happened, she will check to see if I’ve had anymore). And she offers several suggestions to help you.

Written on Apr 03, 2018 after therapy with Wendy for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, and grief

I have seen upwards of 10 counselors within my journey to mental wellness, but I have never been as comfortable with a therapist like I am with Wendy. From day one, her style and approach has been a perfect fit for me. She checks in daily and responds with paragraphs of personable information. I don't know how she manages different clients, yet still manages to care about each individual (like myself) - but she truly does! She listens to every word of my rambling and tangents, without judgment or a sense of annoyance. She responds to me, specifically, without overgeneralizing and grouping me into a category of any sort. I am so glad that I was matched with Wendy! If you are on the verge of quitting online therapy, I hope you find this review and request Wendy Galyen to be your support person! You will not regret it.
