She imbues her work with devotion and warmth and brings her seasoned experience and sharp clinical intuition into each training and consultation she provides. A seasoned clinician helping individuals, adolescents and parents since 2003, expert in the field of EMDR therapy, child development, dissociation and perinatal mental health, Wendy Sue is committed to helping others find ways to connect with themselves and the community around them and feel equipped to cope with their internal and external world so that they can feel more connected, present, and grounded. Wendy Sue has been helping children and parents in both the private and public sector for over twenty years, working with a diverse array of parents at various critical points on their journey from postpartum through young adulthood.

Wendy Sue helps parents individually and in groups, gain emotional fluency and tools for self regulation so that they can show up as the parent they know they would like to be. Wendy Sue brings a depth of experience into the training setting and the warmth and understanding she offers to each client is also offered to each clinician she teaches as they embark on their journey into EMDR therapy. Diversity, equity, inclusion and justice center all this, as Wendy Sue and Resource Counseling Center work hard to provide a safe and inclusive learning environment for any and all who commit to providing this healing work to our world.
