Work with Wendy Gilchrist (LCPC, MBA, MAAT)

About me

I come to BetterHelp with experiences rich in personal maturity, shared humanitarian values, and clinical practice in varied settings. I have worked as a therapist with individuals of all ages, with families and in group settings, and has in-depth exposure to clinical contexts involving trauma and loss. I have worked as a therapist in hospitals in the psychiatric unit and lately in a recognized trauma informed program.
My passion for working with couples comes from understanding that partnership and communication is the basic cell of society. Couples looking for therapy are willing to fight for their relationship. Working with couples is challenging and viable at the same time. Most couples seek for support when many values, limits and boundaries have been trespassed or not respected. It is a gradual healing process and understanding about what does each part values and needs are.

Wendy is amazing. She is helping us to love each other and truly find the amazing things we love about our partner. Things were really rough the past year, and I'm finally seeing the light.

Wendy is great. She's easy to talk with, supportive but also pushes you needed. She's very relatable and I always enjoyed our sessions with her and felt it was a good use of our time.
