Our counselors in Thousand Oaks, CA offer child therapy

I am Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 4 years of experience helping children, teens, adults, and families find healthy ways to cope, communicate, and thrive. I work with those navigating stress, anxiety, family transitions, cultural identity concerns, adjustment, depression, or relationship struggles. Many of my clients seek to manage overwhelming emotions, heal from past experiences, and build confidence. As a Christian and a minority, I bring a perspective grounded in faith, resilience, and cultural understanding, creating an affirming space for clients who value the integration of their beliefs in the healing process.

I earned my Master of Social Work from Widener University. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to each client’s needs. I draw from evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and strength-based practices, while incorporating creative tools like play therapy and expressive activities. 

I know that seeking support takes courage, and you don’t have to walk this path on your own. As a Christian, I believe in the power of hope, healing, and renewal, and I strive to create a space where faith and therapy can work hand in hand. If you’re ready to take the next step, it would be my honor to walk with you on this journey.

Hi, I'm a therapist with a Master of Social Work who believes meaningful change happens through authentic connection. As a Hispanic therapist, I value the role culture, family, and lived experiences play in healing. My own experiences with loss and adversity have shaped the compassion I bring to my work. Drawing from relationship-based approaches, including DIR/Floortime, I work with children, adolescents, adults, and families navigating trauma, grief, anxiety, life transitions, and relationship challenges.

I take a collaborative, strengths-based approach, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), attachment principles, and DIR/Floortime. My goal is to help clients develop insight, build resilience, strengthen relationships, and gain practical tools to navigate life's challenges with confidence. 

Life can bring moments of uncertainty, loss, and change, but you do not have to face them alone. I offer a compassionate, judgment-free space where you can feel seen, understood, and empowered. When you're ready, I invite you to take the next step and begin the process of healing, growth, and self-discovery.

I am Wendy Colocho, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence‑based care to individuals navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. Drawing on my advanced clinical training and experience, I work with teens and adults seeking clarity, emotional balance, and meaningful change, helping them move toward improved well‑being and a stronger sense of self. 

I use an integrative, evidence‑based, and holistic approach that combines psychotherapy with thoughtful medication management to support healing. Clients can expect compassionate, patient‑centered care tailored to concerns like depression, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, and substance use, helping them build resilience and achieve lasting growth. 

I would be honored to support you on your path toward healing. You deserve care that feels safe, collaborative, and empowering, and I’m here to walk with you as you take the next steps. When you're ready, I welcome you to schedule an appointment and begin this journey toward well‑being together.
