The teenage years are a time of immense change, often marked by natural resistance and rebellion, which can make parenting both challenging and emotionally draining. It’s common for teens to resist the idea of therapy, seeing it as something imposed upon them rather than a resource for their growth. If you’re facing resistance from your teen about attending therapy, remember that your role is to simply get them through the door for that first session. From there, it’s my job to create an experience that feels relevant, engaging, and supportive. I work to make therapy a place where teens feel motivated to return, not just because they have to, but because they recognize its value in their journey.
What to Expect:
- Creative and Interactive Sessions: Using a mix of talk therapy, expressive arts, and other therapeutic techniques, sessions are engaging and relevant.
- Focus on Autonomy: I emphasize the importance of choice and control, allowing teens to take an active role in their therapy.
- Parent-Teen Collaboration: While respecting the teen’s need for privacy, I also involve parents, providing support to help you understand and navigate your teen’s emotional world.

Play is a child's language and their way of making sense of the world. As a child centered counselor, I provide a safe and nurturing space where your child can learn through play and expressive arts.
Play is a child's language and their way of making sense of the world. As a child centered counselor, I provide a safe and nurturing space where your child can learn through play and expressive arts.
Play therapy allows children to communicate in a way that feels natural and safe when dealing with complex emotions or difficult experiences.
What to Expect:
- Play-Based Intervention and expressive arts: Your child can explore their feelings, understand their experiences, and build resilience and express emotions that might be difficult to articulate verbally.
- Parental Involvement: Your role as a parent is crucial in your child's healing journey. I work with you, offering support and insight to help you understand and nurture your child’s emotional well-being.

Life’s challenges—whether they stem from past trauma, ongoing stress, or unresolved emotions—can weigh heavily on both our mental and physical health.

Life’s challenges—whether they stem from past trauma, ongoing stress, or unresolved emotions—can weigh heavily on both our mental and physical health. While it may be tempting to push these feelings aside, true healing comes from acknowledging and working through them. My goal is to help you reconnect with your inner voice, allowing you to process these experiences in a way that feels safe, supported, and effective.
I offer a blend of therapeutic modalities that address both the mind and body, providing a comprehensive path to healing:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): This evidence-based approach helps you identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors, empowering you to take control of your mental well-being.
- Attachment Theory: By exploring your relationships and emotional bonds, we uncover patterns that may be affecting your current life.
- Expressive Arts: Through journaling, music, and image making, you can express and process emotions that may be difficult to articulate through words alone.
Counseling is more than just talking—it's about having a space where you can truly feel safe to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. I provide a place where you can feel comfortable to work through emotions at your own pace, honoring your path and the experiences that have shaped you.
About Wendy Logan Cuellar, MA. Ed, LCMHC-S
With over 25 years of experience as a licensed counselor, I have helped children, adolescents, and adults navigate life's transitions, whether anticipated or unexpected. My extensive background includes serving as a school counselor and working in community mental health, providing me with insight into the diverse challenges individuals face throughout their lives.
For more than 20 years, I have mentored the next generation of counselors. As a supervisor and educator, I guide graduate students and post-graduate licensees through their counseling training, ensuring they are well-equipped to support others in their professional journeys.
I am also an experienced trainer for organizations such as Resources for Resilience and NC Center for Advancement of Teaching. In these roles, I lead state wide trainings, working closely with community members and helping professionals to understand childhood stress and trauma. As a trainer, I teach practical strategies to build understanding of the neurobiology and resilience in within ourselves and the people we serve.
In 2023, I made the decision to leave my role in the public school system to focus on private practice. This shift allows me to bring my experience working with children and families to provide more personalized, one-on-one support, offering clients the time and attention they need to achieve meaningful growth.
