Wendy Bennett

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Kansas and a Licensed Professional Counselor in Missouri. I help people overcome obstacles in life so they can experience joy, peace, and success. I have been helping people since 2010 and bring a wide variety of knowledge and experience to the helping profession. I have worked in a wide range of therapeutic settings including inpatient psychiatric hospitalization and residential facilities, intensive outpatient care, faith-based counseling agency and private practice. I work with clients affected by all types of adversity, depression, anxiety, addiction, trauma, divorce, blended families, and relationship challenges utilizing individual, group, and family counseling. My approach to therapy is eclectic as I believe the approach needs to fit the needs and style of the client. I incorporate a client centered approach as clients are the experts of their lives and can determine their direction. I also integrate a strengths-based, solutions-focused style as I draw on multiple treatment modalities to guide clients. For those who want a faith-based approach, I incorporate Christian Counseling concepts recognizing the empowerment and strength that comes from calling upon the mighty name of Jesus. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) concepts as I assist clients in exploring the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to discover distorted thought patterns leading to negative emotions and self-destructive behaviors. I help clients with developing self-management skills.
