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.
