Wendy Thornell, LCSW

Reaching out for therapy can feel overwhelming, especially if you've spent a long time feeling misunderstood, carrying more than others realize, or trying to fit into expectations that never felt quite right. My goal is to create a space where you can set those expectations down and simply be yourself. At Wild & Worthy Counseling, I believe healing begins with feeling heard. Whether you're navigating trauma, anxiety, relationship challenges, parenting, grief, or discovering new things about yourself, we'll work together in a way that honors your unique story and strengths. My approach is compassionate, evidence-based, and grounded in the belief that meaningful growth happens when people feel safe enough to be authentic. You don't have to have everything figured out before you begin. We'll take the next step together. ========================================= In accordance with House Bill 4224 and Texas Health and Safety Code Section 181.105, Wild & Worthy Counseling provides the following information to assist clients and members of the public with: • Requesting access to health care records • Contacting the state licensing authority • Filing a consumer complaint How to Request Your Health Care Records: Current and former clients may request copies of their counseling and mental health records.
