Individual Counseling

Lake Norman Counseling Service, PLLC was established in August, 2006, to allow me to provide a variety of counseling services to a wide range of populations.
My passion for helping others through grief and trauma has become a privilege of walking alongside individuals on their path to healing. As a Licensed Professional Mental Health Counselor for over 20 years, I work with clients experiencing grief, loss, anxiety, depression, PTSD, OCD and life-transitions. In addition to individual sessions, I offer martial, couples counseling and pre-marital counseling.
​​
My goal is to provide a compassionate and empathetic space where my clients feel safe, supported and empowered to find strength, resilience and sustainable healing.
​
Sessions are virtual unless otherwise discussed. Some insurance plans are accepted as well as self-pay. Wendie offers a free 15 minute consultation for potential new clients.
Intensive-Counseling
Intensive Counseling is available for those seeking to dive deep into healing from trauma. It's an efficient and effective way to free yourself from past trauma and haunting memories.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing), is utilized in these sessions as the primary treatment modality. These sessions are a minimum of 6 hours @ $2000.00. Follow up sessions are scheduled as needed per the individual.
​
​*EMDR helps the client's brain reprocess traumatic memories, to eliminate the emotional heaviness associated with them. Allowing the client to feel less overwhelmed and less likely to be re-triggered.
​
A thorough history and assessment is taken. Once we complete this step, a treatment plan is established and a timeline of events id created. Bilateral stimulation is used to reprocess the traumatic memories, lessening the emotional weight of these events. Building a positive belief system is a part of the process as well.
​
A thorough explanation of the process is explained prior to scheduling any intensive.
