I know there is a significant delay to schedule appointments. I am working hard to see as many patients as possible … as quickly as possible. Please be patient as there is only one of me!
Waitlist/Scheduling
If interested in being put on a waitlist, you must schedule the first available appointment FIRST. Once you have scheduled an appointment, please send an email to: wendy@wendy4therapy.com indicating you would like to be on the waitlist. As it is much easier for me to drop patients into open slots if your paperwork is completed, I strongly encourage you to complete you paperwork asap.
