Welcome! I am glad you are here.
My name is Wendy Velazco-Weiss, and I am a bilingual (English-Spanish) licensed therapist in VA and MD providing psychotherapy services to clients through adulthood.
I am dedicated to working with adults as they navigate life's challenges and explore their unique lived experiences. I am passionate about the intersection of physical and mental health, anxiety, chronic stress and trauma.
I have worked extensively as a therapist in county government domestic and sexual violence services, community mental health agencies and schools in Fairfax County, VA and in Montgomery County, MD. My specialties include anxiety, depression, PTSD, physical and sexual abuse, dysfunctional family patterns, self-esteem, pregnancy, grief and loss, and relationships. I'm EMDR certified and have extensive training in trauma therapy. I also incorporate CBT, Psychodynamic Therapy and evidence-based modalities to foster growth and healing.
As a therapist, my primary goal is to provide a compassionate and non-judgmental space where you feel heard, understood, respected and not alone. I work to build a collaborative partnership with all clients, regardless of what brings them to treatment. The focus of our sessions aims to promote self-growth by increasing an understanding of the different behaviors, patterns, thoughts, stories, and beliefs that are getting in the way of living a fulfilling life.
Therapy is available in-person in Herndon, VA and virtually for those across Virginia and Maryland.
