Wendy M. Greene, PHD

At Wendy M. Greene, Ph. D., Clinical Psychologist, we believe that every individual has the potential to live a fulfilling and joyful life. However, we also understand that life can sometimes feel overwhelming and stressful, leading to feelings of anxiety, depression, self-doubt, and relationship distress. Our mission is to provide a safe, compassionate, and validating environment where our clients can explore and work through their concerns.

Our Approach

Our approach to psychotherapy is best described as humanistic and eclectic. We see each client as a unique and complex human being with their own set of needs, fears, and longings. As a guide with extensive training and experience, we work together with our clients to achieve their personal goals. Our eclectic approach incorporates various perspectives and disciplines, including cognitive-behavioral theory, psychodynamic theory, attachment theory, and mind-body techniques such as mindfulness and self-compassion.

Psychodynamic Theory

Psychodynamic theory focuses on how early experiences influence current feelings about oneself and current relationships. When clients feel stuck in repetitive thought and behavioral patterns that hinder growth and joy, it is beneficial to explore how they have interpreted early life experiences. This approach helps us understand the root causes of our clients' feelings and behaviors, enabling us to develop a more profound understanding of their experiences.

Cognitive-Behavioral Theory

Cognitive-behavioral theory is highly effective in providing tools and strategies to interrupt negative thought patterns and behaviors. By examining the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and actions, we can help our clients identify and change unhealthy patterns. This approach is particularly useful for managing stress, anxiety, and depression, and can lead to significant improvements in overall well-being.

Mindfulness and Self-Compassion

Mindfulness and self-compassion are essential components of our approach. Mindfulness encourages clients to be fully present in the moment, observing their thoughts and feelings without judgment. Self-compassion promotes treating oneself with kindness, understanding, and patience, rather than self-criticism. These practices can greatly enhance emotional regulation, resilience, and overall happiness.
