About wendy hawkins

My personal and professional mantra is "Empower, Educate and Evolve!" I believe in empowering my clients in a safe and nonjudgmental virtual space while providing dialogue and resources for them to bloom and evolve into the human THEY want to be! Nothing brings me greater joy than to watch a client go from a caterpillar to a butterfly! I know we are all different so I understand that there is not a one-size fits all approach. I am trained in a variety of therapy models but they all center around a humanistic approach that is focused on healing. I believe in collaboration with my clients because ultimately we are each in charge of our own mental health journey. I enjoy working with adults and couples around a wide range of life events, problems and obstacles. I am a mom to three adult children and I thoroughly love spending time with my three grandsons. I'm currently living a bit nomadically to see and experience different places and people which has been a life goal of mine for a long time. I have life experience that makes me relatable and I often share about my own healing journey to normalize that we all have to continually work on being the best version of who we are! I am currently a licensed clinical social worker and am passionate about social justice. As a white cis-gender woman, I am very aware of my privilege and constantly work on being a person that is an asset to the human race. I enjoy being outdoors, traveling, reading and playing Zelda on my Switch when I can. I offer a 30-minute complimentary phone consultation to see if we're a good fit because the client-therapist relationship is an important one!
