Greeting and welcome to Better Help!
My name is Wendy Henner and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the states of Arizona and Oregon, and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Washington. I received my Bachelor of Arts degree in Clinical Psychology from San Francisco State University, and my Master of Arts degree, specializing in Applied Behavioral Science and Systems Counseling, from Bastyr University.
For the past 20 years, I have been working with individuals and couples who present with a variety of personal struggles such as depression/anxiety, grief and loss, addiction, low self-esteem and attachment trauma which results in adult relationship challenges. My experience has taught me that the most important aspect of counseling is the connection and level of comfort you feel with the person you choose to share your intimate struggles.
I believe we all have the answers we need within us, that we are spiritual beings having a human experience and our purpose here on Earth is to evolve and thrive. Challenges allow us to grow and learning to deeply surrender and just be with uncomfortable emotions helps us to evolve into a deeper awareness and higher consciousness. We can dip our toes in the water, so to speak, and choose to ignore challenges when they are present, or jump off the metaphorical high dive and face our challenges head-on, taking the fast track towards evolution at lightning speed.
Looking within and reaching out to face our struggles when we feel stuck, is a courageous step forward. Finding that right person with whom you can trust will listen with an open heart, and who can help access your inner guru is at times exactly what we need to move forward. It would be my honor and privilege to be that person for you, to hold space for you and with you, and help you move at whatever pace you are ready and willing to go.
Thank you for having the courage in taking that first step.
I offer messaging, live chat and phone sessions and I look forward to working with you!

Wendy has helped me through a hard time with the pandemic and other life problems. She has a gentle guiding approach and has helped me look into myself in ways I never have before. She truly is helping me understand why I believe things to be a certain way and how I can change my beliefs to be positive and supportive. I would highly recommend Wendy to anyone that is trying to find motivation and strategies to be more positive.
