REVIEWS

In working with Wendolyn, I have learned how to better prioritize different areas of my life and finding a sustainable work/life balance. I knew something needed to stift but I felt pulled in too many directions to figure out how.

​

Working with Wendolyn was a wonderful experience. She is incredibly supportive, thoughtful, and insightful! She consistently offered meaningful resources and helped me reconnect with priorities I hadn’t been giving enough attention to. Her encouragement felt both grounding and motivating.

​

As a result of our work together, I feel I’ve given myself real permission to refill my own bucket and to put on my own oxygen mask first. This brings out the best version of myself in helping others. The ongoing positive reinforcement and resources she shared throughout each week were especially impactful.

​

Working with Wendolyn has been a substantial improvement in my life, not just as a mom and a therapist, but as a person overall. I’m deeply grateful for the clarity and balance I gained through our work together.

There’s a saying that goes something like, “your presence is your present.” I have come to understand the truth of that ethos through my many years of work with Ms. Wendolyn Davis, whom I met during my health and wellness journey. Her patients benefit from her presence in every therapeutic moment — and I offer this letter as an enthusiastic recommendation of her as a clinician.

 

First, Ms. Davis has a presence of mind. In our work together, it became clear that she was consistently learning, researching, and thinking deeply between sessions. Her practice is informed by voracious reading and a sincere commitment to growth. She never offered generic advice; she offered thoughtful, individualized insight. In my case, I struggled — and still sometimes struggle — with overeating and thoughtless snacking. Ms. Davis guided me toward self-centering strategies that helped me see that caring for a healthier version of myself wasn’t superficial; it was essential to my healing.

 

Second, Ms. Davis has a presence of spirit. I always appreciated the way she could acknowledge the difficulty of change without judgment. Occasionally, she would share a small reflection from her own encounters with challenge — never in a way that shifted focus away from my process, but in a way that grounded the work in humanity. She honors the fallibility of the human heart, and she communicates that growth is not a straight line. Her approach made it easier to be honest, to persist, and to continue evolving.

 

Third, Ms. Davis has a presence of heart. I’ll admit that I often arrived to sessions without a clear plan. I’m a “let’s get to the point” person by nature, but over time I learned that I didn’t need a perfect agenda — Ms. Davis created a space where my intuition could lead, and where we could reach challenging truths safely. Her ability to reframe thoughts and patterns is one of her greatest strengths. One of the most enduring lessons she gave me — professionally and personally — is to “watch my vibe,” to consider how I move through the world and affect others, both in small moments and in larger ways.

 

Before I close this recommendation, I’ll answer the question some might wonder: did I reach every goal I originally came in with? Some of those goals remain lifelong work — but after years with Ms. Davis, I understand that the most meaningful measure of success is not a single outcome. The real success has been meeting new versions of myself over and over again, with greater awareness, courage, and care.

 

And that was the most treasured present Ms. Davis ever gave me.

When my Dr. referred me to Wendolyn, I had been traumatized, victimized and had a false police report filed against me, was arrested and spent two nights in jail by my own Son and his wife.  I cried every day, sometimes all day.  I was stuck and was continuing to allow what was done to me to continue to victimize me.  I had no joy in my life. I was trying to survive without knowing how to do so.  I had no direction and felt like I was losing my mind.

Wendolyn truly opened the door for me. I as only seeing negativity all around me.  She showed me that there were positive things that were also happening.  Through repeated sessions, I began to see the positive things.  I enjoy helping others.  It makes me happy to help others.  When you are focused on helping others, you are not so focused on your problems.  I remember what My Mother used to say-She grew up in The Great Depression.  Her and her Sisters had to share the clothing and shoes so that they could all go to school some days.  When I would be upset as a child, not getting some small thing I wanted, she would say "I cried because I had no shoes...until I saw a man who had no feet"It really puts things into perspective.  So, since I was busy being someone else's hero (lol) She told me to "Be your own hero".  I didn't understand it at first. I was still too wrapped up in still being a victim.  She helped me to be able to help myself. She was right! I can be me own hero by giving myself a well deserved break and not being so hard on myself.  Also to be kind to myself.  To give myself the same care, consideration and love that I show others.  I am now My Own Hero thanks to Wendolyn.  She made me realize that yes, I had been victimized and mistreated but now it was time to re-claim my life that was stolen from me. I am no longer a victim :-)  

Wendolyn is a highly intelligent and caring person. She cares deeply about people and their well being.  It comes through in what she says and does.  In also how she speaks with you-her caring comes through and I could feel that she cared.  She helped me to heal the hurt that had been done.  I consider Wendolyn a close Friend.

I once again have confidence and joy in my life.  I have things that I am looking forward to (moving to Georgia to be with My Sister!) My energy is now positive and is focused on the future-My Future!  No longer focused on the past and I am no longer a Victim.  I have ME Back!!

Thank you Wendolyn!
