She began her training outside of Boston as a community mental health therapist by day and facilitating addiction support groups at McLean Hospital in the evening.

She combined her talents with a position at a dual diagnosis hospital before deciding to head west to California. After settling in Los Angeles, Wendy integrated cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to her skill set before accepting a position at UCLA Medical Center where she specialized in clinical social work and healthcare.
