Torie Pendleton
Board Certified-TeleMental Health Provider
About
I help clients who are dealing with overwhelming anxiety, depression, or difficult life transitions, as well as those who are experiencing intrusive thoughts and compulsions. If you feel pressured by constant worry, apathy, and “what-if” thinking, you are not alone and counseling can help! By sharing your concerns, you can work toward emotional and mental wellness. I enjoy working with diverse populations and consider it a privilege to learn from each person’s unique story, strengths, and life experiences.
I help clients explore the “why” and “how” of their anxiety, OCD, depression, or adjustment issues. We’ll walk through how you are feeling, what you are thinking, and how it is effecting your daily life. Using multiple types of treatment, my goal for my clients to learn to accept life as it is, then commit to making changes for a better you.
You’ve already taken an important step by seeking support, and I’m here to help you create the change you seek.
