Soooo it's like 10 am and i've been up since 8!!! because i went to sleep at 11….omg…it's a freakin miracle…lol i haven't been able to go to sleep so early since like last month. i was being a huge bitch last night…i'm sorry for anyone who read my last blog…it was pretty scary. i ended up going to the meeting last night because i knew it was where i was supposed to be. a guy came in and was drunk and shared about how he has scars all over him and how he was such a huge heroin addict and how none of us probably touched it…he made fun of how people are jus addicted to pills and doesn't know how it feels to be a junkie… i wanted to slap his face!! and the most fucked up thing….the chairperson didn't even cut him off once he admitted to being drunk? ok….but she fucking cut off the lady who was sharing last, telling her it was the top of the hour, when we still had 3 minutes left, and i think that was terribley rude and i think the best meetings go over a few minutes anyways…but alll that is in the past, overall it was a nice meeting i guess…. so i was being very mean all day yesterday. i didn't feel good. i went to sleep wanting to murder everyone and to top it off, i missed kristen's phone call while i was in the meeting. BUt everything happens for a reason and i got through that day clean and today is new. i found out this morning why i was so mean yesterday and why my head hurt so weirdly and my whole face…lol i woke up and realized one of my top wisdom teeth are pushing through…..greeaaat lol last summer when i had 2 jobs i luckily got one pulled and got them all x-rayed and the denist said the rest of them should grow straight, so hopefully he's right because i'm broke and have no dental insurance. so anyways…. thanks for the people who comment. this website is like a meeting to me kinda…lol like i share and people help me. and i try to help other people too. today is good though….. i have to stay focused on the good….like how i woke up really early and took a shower and im doing my laundry and i cleaned a little…i feed the kittys ! we have 3 cats =) i love them. and how i do have ajob that i start on sunday. i bought my work shirt last night and my mom is going to get me some shoes. some people wonder why i even call my mom because she's in active acoholism and addiction. but she's my mom ya know…i can't live with her, but i do love her. i am obviously a product of her…. lol but once you take away the addiction part of either of us, we are good people. anyways sorry for rambling once again. i am happy today so far it's a beautiful day and everyone else is asleep so i'm jus hanging out doing laundry talking to the cats lol i'm weird. but this is the way i like things…i missed waking up early!!! for the past month i have been staying up til like 6am and sleeping til 2pm and it sucked. so i'm grateful. and i don't know if i'm bipolar or not for the one who mentioned it. i was actually diagnosed with it 5 years ago when iwas 15. i think i may be. i am going to actually call my therapist today and see if she can get me an appointment with the phyc. because i'm wondering…lol i'm scared of those doctors though. they locked me up when i was 16-17. they didn't want to let me leave LOL i thought it was because i was a genius and they didn't want me to be a part of society because they knew i was so intelligent that i saw straight through the world and noticed all the secrets and all that….and they thought i was schizophrenic….lol pretty funny. i'm not though. i am just abstract =) there's a little line that seperates the two, and i could see where they would be confused. anyways i need to go read the JFT before i forget. kristen will be home on saturday! and i start my job on sunday! and i get to see my mother tomorrow! and today will be good =) so yea. i'm out. peace<3

I love helping people who are struggling with low self-esteem, poor self-worth, and lack of self-acceptance stemming from being conditioned to believe they are unacceptable, feel free, accept who they are, find peace and no longer struggle with anxiety and depression.

My diverse experience has provided me with an understanding of both physical and mental diagnoses, and emotional issues. Your mind and body are woven together to make you a one-of-a-kind human being! To reach personal health & happiness, the key is a healthy connection between mind and body.

I provide professional, results-oriented counseling with a focus on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Hypnosis, methods that more quickly and effectively brings about positive changes. As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I also work extensively with couples and family members on relationship issues.

I believe therapy is truly a collaborative effort for healing. You are the expert and the therapist is a conduit. I’m committed to helping people learn how to live by their values instead of letting emotions and thoughts control their lives. My work focuses on targeting ineffective behaviors, habits, and beliefs and transforming them into effective ways of living that brings people in touch their values. In life, we will always experience a full spectrum of emotions, it's all in our reactions to those emotions in which we build a life we're excited about.
In my practice, I will never ask the person sitting across from me to do something I myself have not done. Meaning, I live my life by my therapy approaches and don't just use them as an "intervention." I also use a lot of humor, direct and transparent communication.
Personally, I love dogs (have two of my own), reading, painting and engaging in sports or exercise!
If you’re interested in scheduling a consultation with me, please send an appointment request.

Seeking an alternative to traditional therapy?
That’s why I’m here. My tools range from innovative new mind-body modalities (e.g., Energy Psychology) to the most ancient spiritual/energetic modality (shamanic healing). These tools enable me to help clients address most of the problems that licensed mental health professionals do – plus some they can’t. And usually do it more efficiently.
This is the main reason I almost always have one or more licensed therapists as clients. See the testimonials on my website.

Welcome to Williamsburg Youth Counseling, by Dane Wendell, LPC. We are excited to be in Williamsburg and to provide services to the youth in our community, through our private counseling practice. While working with your child/teen, we are able to help them navigate through their emotions and feelings along with teaching them healthy coping mechanisms. We specialize in working with youth dealing with depression, anxiety, stress, and the compounding concerns associated with them. Our practice believes that working with youth is drastically different than working with adults. Children and teens do not care about our philosophies, our educational backgrounds, or our theoretical orientations. What they do care about is their ability to relate to our counselors. Our youth today need to feel comfortable, supported, and most importantly, heard. We are able to help your child feel comfortable when starting or continuing their journey in bettering their mental health and overall wellbeing.

You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you think".......By A.A. Milne. It is my deepest desire to actively assist those in need of support through life's challenges. I am eager to work with those experiencing a crisis, conflict, or seemingly unmanageable change in the course of life's events. I discretely assist individuals in finding solutions to some of the more challenging issues in life.
I enjoy working with children, adolescents, and adults in addition to people experiencing life with physical and/or cognitive disabilities. I have many years of experience as an educator, and as a clinical therapist working with people with special needs. My work is very interactive and homework is often assigned to practice new skills.
The purpose of our work together is to build a relationship that fosters an environment that is personalized and centered on your goals and objectives. In meeting your goals and objectives you will not only be able to successfully navigate through these challenges, but be better prepared to face future challenges life may bring.

Trauma, anxiety, and life's stressors and transitions can leave you feeling like you are drowning. Counseling is a life raft in a sea of emotion. I partner with families and individuals in navigating transitions and stressors throughout the lifespan. Each child, individual, and family have unique needs. I adjust my counseling approach to best meet your needs to support your success and growth. Together we will develop a plan to manage your current challenges and symptoms and to move you into a place of healing and peace.
