Wendy Velazco-Weiss, LCSW, LCSW-C

I am a licensed therapist and EMDR certified. I have worked extensively in county government, schools and community mental health settings in Fairfax County, Virginia and in Montgomery County, Maryland. I offer evidence-based approaches to resolve the effects of trauma and PTSD, depression, anxiety, grief, life transitions, pregnancy and post-partum concerns, relationships and dysfunctional family patterns. I have extensive experience working with a diverse population and survivors of sexual abuse. As a therapist, my primary goal is to foster a safe and non-judgmental environment where individuals feel heard, understood and not alone. I work to build a collaborative partnership with all clients, regardless of what brings them to treatment. The therapeutic relationship serves as the foundation to deepen clients’ understanding of relationships, behaviors, and thought patterns, and develop healthy coping strategies and insight. I use an integrated approach to therapy to support individuals to invest in their strengths, while shifting away from patterns that no longer serve them. I offer sessions in English and Spanish.
