WELCOME!
I am Wendi Shepherd, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 15+ years of experience in mental health, and I am the Founder/CEO of Therapy is Golden. I have combined my clinical expertise with the strategic perspective I’ve gained through my MBA to offer a unique, holistic approach to therapy that creates solutions for a healthier, more fulfilling life.
Let's face it, "life be lifing!” If you're dealing with personal, relational, or professional challenges, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, chronic stress and/or navigating an STI diagnosis like Herpes, HPV, and/or HIV, finding a therapist who blends experience, skill, empathy, grace, compassion and humor when needed, will help you focus on healing, growth, and renewal in an environment free of judgement.
At Therapy is Golden, we walk with our clients as they navigate the journey of life – you are not alone! Together we will HARMONIZE your emotions/mind, VISUALIZE your potential, REALIZE your goals, and ACTUALIZE your authentic self.
We look forward to the opportunity to be in and of service on your journey.
Thank you for stopping by!
