My name is Hui-Li (Wendy) Walker and I am a liscenced professional counselor. I have a Masters of Art in Counseling from Dallas Babtist University. In the past, I worked in an outpatient clinic as a clinical therapist. I utilized CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), DBT (Dialetical Behavioural Therapy), the AIP (Adaptive Information Processing) model through EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) therapy while integrating narrative and IFS (Internal Family System) theories.

​

I started my journey as a school counselor in Taiwan working with troubled youth in high school. I eventually made my way to Texas to finish my Masters degree where I married and settled down in DFW. I have travelled to multiple countries and I have experienced many cultures in my travels. I am a therapist of few words, I want to listen to you. I want to listen to your life, your experiences, and who you are as a person.

 

No one has a perfect life. That goes without saying. Everyone has their own personal struggles, but what counts as trauma? According to the American Psychological Association, "trauma is an emotional response to a terrible event, or series of events, such as childhood neglect, an accident, assault, rape, or natural disaster. Immediately after the event, shock and denial are typical, but longer-term reactions include unpredictable emotions, flashbacks, strained relationships, and even physical symptoms like headaches or nausea.”

 

I understand how the traumatic experience impacts a person’s mental, behavioral, emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being, and ultimately affects their lives as adults. “Trauma-focused” therapy is rooted in understanding the connection between the trauma experience and the person’s emotional and behavioral responses.

 

Trauma, depression, anxiety, and the wounds in our lives don't define us. But the process of working through these issues can lead to new peace, new freedoms, and emotional growth. I look forward to joining you on this journey of personal growth.

 

         我是惠莉（溫蒂）沃克，是一名持有執照的專業諮商師。我來自台灣。我畢業於達拉斯浸信會大學的專業心理諮商碩士學位。我在美的工作經歷主要來自於在診所擔任臨床心理治療師。我透過EMDR（眼動減敏再處理）療法 中的AIP（自適應訊息處理）模型進行創傷修復，融合CBT（認知行為療法）、DBT（辯證行為療法）、同時整合敘事和IFS（內在家庭系統）理論。

 

         我在台灣時是擔任一名學校心理輔導員，並在高中時幫助問題青少年。我後來在德州完成碩士學位，並結婚且定居於此。我熱愛旅行、去過很多國家，在旅行中體驗了很多不同的文化，也經歷過文化的碰撞、摩擦與融合。身為一位治療師，我想聽聽你的感受。我想聽聽你的生活、你的故事以及你是誰。

 

         沒有人有完美的生活。每個人都有自己的個人掙扎，有時接納自己或他人並不容易。生活的過程可能會經歷傷害。但什麼才算是創傷呢？根據美國心理學會的說法，「創傷是對可怕事件或一系列事件的情緒反應，例如童年忽視、事故、襲擊、強姦或自然災害。事件發生後，典型的是震驚和否認，但長期反應包括容易被刺激的情緒、閃回、緊張的關係，甚至頭痛或噁心等身體症狀。

 

         我了解創傷經驗如何影響一個人的心理、行為、情緒、身體和精神健康，並最終影響他們成年後的生活。 「以創傷為中心」的治療植根於理解創傷經驗與人的情緒和行為反應之間的連結。

 

         生活中的大小傷並不能定義我們。但解決這些問題的過程可以讓我們更認識自己、帶來心靈上的平靜、新的自由和情感的成長。我期待與您一起踏上這段個人成長之旅。
