I feel so incredibly lucky to have found someone who understands both queer and military struggles. Finding understanding for my issues meant going to one source or another for a long time, because finding someone who knows both is rare. I hope every LGBTQ+ person in the military finds someone like her.

Hello there, I am a licensed professional counselor licensed in Louisiana and Texas with over 19 years’ experience working as a therapist and art therapy certified life coach. I have completed advanced studies in naturopathic medicine (natural medicine), with a specialization in behavioral health disorders. I have supported clients with multiple concerns, including behavioral modification support, impulsivity, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting support, sexual dysfunction, intimacy challenges, sexually addictive behaviors, career challenges, and trauma.
My counseling style is warm, encouraging, and supportive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach to supporting clients combines cognitive-behavioral therapy, client-centered, solution-focused counseling, and holistic (natural) interventions to support your therapeutic goals . This space is designed to support you with addressing your expressed goals, and I will tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life. Please know, you are not alone, I am here as part of your team to support, empower, and share valuable strategies you as you begin this quest to being your best!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

I’m happy to have chosen Wendy for my therapist. She’s already helped me understand how I’m feeling and thinking.
I feel so incredibly lucky to have found someone who understands both queer and military struggles. Finding understanding for my issues meant going to one source or another for a long time, because finding someone who knows both is rare. I hope every LGBTQ+ person in the military finds someone like her.
From the first time we met I instantly felt at ease. She was able to relay my concerns back to me, allowing me to know she completely understood where I was at. In our time together she has helped me direct myself to dealing with my emotions and grow. I’m grateful for her help!
She is a wonderful therapist and I think she is going to help out so many people ☺️
She is awesome! Very personable without being unprofessional, has a lot of experience dealing with anxiety related to social situations and has helped me make lots of progress.
I’ve only been with Wendy for a few weeks, but I can’t tell it’s going to be life changing!
Wendy is gentle and wise. Shes easy to talk to and as a first time trying therapy through an app it was so good to have been matched with her. Im happy I made that connection with her. She has helped me and Im thankful.
Dr. Wendy is wonderful. She doesn't even flinch when I tell her something I think is weird about me. She's an excellent listener and teacher. I really like her.
Wendy comes with an understanding and encouraging spirit. Speaking with her you will always get the bigger picture of your problems and practical suggestions to make it better.
She’s lovely
Great empathy and conversation. Looking forward to many more sessions!
Wendy is so kind, a great listener and her experience shows. She’s comforting and will challenge you in a gentle and encouraging way. She wants to see you succeed!
Wendy is very patient and knowledgeable. Really a wonderful person!
I really love that I got matched with Mrs. Wendy. It’s the second time I’ve tried therapy, but the first time I’ve felt heard and been provided constructive feedback and questions. Really going to try working out keeping her as a therapist bc she’s been that wonderful and positive for me and my experience so far!
Amazing individual and listener, provides awesome feedback
Wendy is amazing. I am very thankful she’s my therapist. I feel like she’s a long time friend, she makes me feel at ease and comfortable. I look forward to meeting with her every week. I get professional expertise and knowledge from her that I’m sure I couldn’t do just by internet research and self healing. I’ve had only three sessions with her yet I am already seeing such difference. I feel like she’s very attentive and she really listens. She shares with me real life experiences and makes her very relatable. I appreciate Wendy so much and would recommend her in a heartbeat!
Wendy is polite and thoughtful, and listens to me. She's trustworthy and trusting and helps you see things from a different perspective. She gives me hope.
Wendy has such a warm presence that instantly helped me feel at ease. She speaks with empowering and compassionate language, is confident in her areas of expertise, and is just a lovely human to interact with. I'd gladly recommend her to a friend.
Would not recommend her, she didn't show up to the first live sections. It took her 2 days to reply with a confirmation message on the day of the live session only for her to not show up.
She’s great.
Highly recommend Wendy as a therapist and an awesome person!
Wendy is friendly, down to earth and helps you feel grounded and safe :)
Wendy has done a great job in listening to what I had to say and what I would like to work on. She is quick to do a follow up message to check in on me.
Words can’t describe what Wendy has done and been the last five months. She’s somehow managed to turn me from someone who was terrified to talk and unwilling to go go on camera, to someone who started to look forward to our Tuesday sessions and the ability to find my own voice. I have become increasingly more open and willing to share past trauma and that is all down to Wendy’s insane ability to make me feel calm and safe. Wendy goes above and beyond. No words can express how thankful I am to have stumbled upon Wendy! So a simple thank you will have to suffice! Thank you ♥️
Wendy is a passionate therapist. She provides the support in gols level giving me great help.
Wendy is so sweet and understanding. As someone who doesn’t have much experience with therapy, I was lucky to have Wendy as my first therapist!
Wendy is great! She really cares about you and what you have to say. She is a great listener and really makes you feel safe. I would definitely recommend Wendy to anyone who needs a kind and professional therapist.
Wendy has been a good support. She is responsive, knowledgeable and has a wonderful personal and professional manner to her.
Really appreciate Wendy being able to show empathy to my situation and her sharing was really helpful for me to be more at ease with myself. I needed the trust and acceptance and I'm grateful I could feel it through the session with Wendy.
Very professional, sweet and understanding
Wendy is very respectful, understanding and gives good advice. She responds well and in a timely manner. I would recommend her to anyone.
Wendy has been providing supports in different ways in a results oriented manner.
Wendy gets it! From the first moment she is super friendly, professional and provides custom solutions which are easy to apply and helps me grow in the right direction . She helped me dive deep in my past experiences to see where we need to re-program. Thank you Wendy! You rock ;) Really like this journey, and your method works for me and I recommend to others!
Wendy is a very friendly person, even though this is the first time I ever talk to a councellor, I felt realy comfortable expressing myself with her. She understands exactly what Im trying to say and that was enough to make me feel better from the first session. I'm glad I started this journey with her. And I'm looking forward for the rest of it.
Wendy is absolutely lovely! We had to work around scheduling because mine and hers clash but Wendy reached out and made it work for both of us. She is attentive and caring with the most positive of heart. She listens and guides me through exploring and navigating my life better.
I have never thought that I would learn such great ways of thinking in such a short amount, Wendy does not only feel like a therapist, but she feels like a friend! I'm always excited to hear from her, she gives me great advice and last but not least she always encourages me in the best ways, I don't know what I would do without her, I'm confident that she is the best therapist I could have gotten assigned to!
Wendy is so easy to talk to! She is warm and receptive, has fantastic analogies, asks very thoughtful questions, and gives great feedback. I'm so glad I got matched with her!
Wendy has been extremely helpful in my personal development towards regaining a sense of self confidence after a sudden life change. She is extremely empathetic but also manages to challenge my thinking processes with introspective questions and objective setting practices. She is very easy to communicate with and carries herself with a professional yet warm and familiar energy that one would find in a close friend or relative. She is open to sharing her own personal experiences as a tool for reference and as example of her understanding. Overall I would highly recommend Wendy Durant to any of my friends seeking to improve their mental and emotional health.
Wendy is a wonderful person. Our conversations were so valuable and helpful. Wendy helped me see situations that felt overwhelming as more manageable and achievable.
I just started with Wendy and I can say it has already made a difference. She is open, honest, intuitive and gives me not just advice but strategies I can use to better myself. I look forward in my sessions with her and continue growing into a better person.
