About Wendy Gatewood

As a licensed therapist in Indiana, Illinois and Oregon, I bring over two decades of compassionate clinical experience supporting individuals through complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping clients navigate challenges like anxiety, trauma, relationship dynamics, and personal growth. I specialize in addressing issues including social anxiety, attachment concerns, life transitions, and women’s mental health.

My therapeutic approach is deeply collaborative and tailored to each individual’s unique journey. I focus on creating a supportive environment where clients can explore their experiences, develop healthier coping strategies, and cultivate greater self-understanding. Whether you’re struggling with mood regulation, relationship patterns, or seeking personal transformation, I’m committed to walking alongside you with empathy and professional expertise.

I draw from evidence-based practices to support clients in developing resilience, improving communication, and reconnecting with their inherent strengths. My goal is to empower you to build meaningful connections, overcome obstacles, and create positive change in your life.

“Wendy listen to me and give me advice when I need”

“Wendy is a wonderful human being. She established goals early on with me, and has maintained a focus on those goals. What I appreciate the most about Wendy is that she challenges me to explain my thought processes through guided questions, allowing me the space to come to my own conclusions. It's refreshing, and a stark juxtaposition to my previous experiences with therapy.”

From the beginning, Wendy created a safe, supportive space that made it easy for me to open up and feel understood.
