About Wendy
Wendy Richmond is a licensed clinical social worker in Colorado. She brings five years of clinical experience and focuses on everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, grief, and depression. Wendy emphasizes practical help and encourages people to build on the strengths they already have.
She works in a collaborative, down-to-earth way. Sessions center on the person in front of her and what they want to change. Wendy listens, reflects back what she hears, and offers tools to manage overwhelming feelings and difficult thoughts.
Wendy uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. She often draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking patterns. She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and take small steps toward them.
For people carrying trauma or intense memories, she includes EMDR-informed methods to help with processing distressing events. Dialectical behavior strategies are used when people need concrete skills for emotion regulation and better communication.
Wendy also supports those dealing with life transitions, caregiving and aging concerns, isolation, and codependency issues. She aims to help people find more balance and confidence in daily life. Taking the first step can feel hard, and Wendy focuses on making that step manageable.
