Wendy Rolon (she/her)

I have a long history of supporting the dying, the bereaved and also caregivers of the terminally ill. I help clients bring love and acceptance to their circumstances with a focus on healing that can be an integral part of ones legacy. Together we create a powerful space for end of life issues in a culture that typically denies grief and death.

I have a special affinity for highly sensitive people and enjoy helping them to get a better understanding and acceptance of their own needs while also celebrating their unique strengths.

When we are young and have little control over our circumstances, we establish relational patterns that endure for much or all of our lives. My training in attachment theory informs my ability to help clients uncover the attachment wounds that have shaped them. I help clients bring compassion and understanding to these tender spots so that they can tend to them lovingly and move toward healing.

I am deeply inspired by Internal Family Systems and use it as inspiration for helping clients understand their parts and reconnect with their core Self, the part of them that is infinitely wise, loving and undamaged. We work together to bring all parts into balance, to promote Self Leadership and emotional freedom.

I believe that our anxiety is on duty, trying to keep us safe, and usually came into being when we were kids. As a parts therapist, I teach clients to notice anxiety in their body and then, get curious about it and make friends, rather than judging it. We can't choose to cast parts of ourselves, like anxiety, away but we can change the way we relate to these parts, leading them with compassion and understanding. In this way, anxiety can transform and you can heal.

Self-compassion is the ground that our therapy sessions stand on. Mindfulness is about noticing when you're having intense feelings, and learning how to respond with loving kindness instead of judgment. It's about making room for your whole self, not just the aspects you think are worthy. It's about learning how to be in the present moment, so you can move through life with freedom and ease. I teach interested clients how to use mindfulness and meditation for healing.

Nonviolent Communication is all about feelings and needs. I teach clients how to connect with their feelings and needs, so they can get a better understanding of themselves and their loved ones, and communicate in an open-hearted way, where curiosity replaces judgment. This type of heart-centered communication stops the relational tug of war and increases intimacy with those you love while honoring emotions and needs.
