Wendy has been very patient and understanding during my set backs. Having a therapist that does not rush you through the process has been very beneficial for me.

Amazing, from the beginning. If I had to describe her with one word it would warm. Since day 1 she's been comforting and has helped me not only view things differently but also develop a sense of self and direction. I feel blessed and humbled to have her accompany me through this journey.

Dr. Petzel’s incite has been very helpful. She is a great listener and she takes the time to give me feedback that helps me think about the things I need to work on changing in order to heal.
