William Wendt Center For Loss and Healing

I made an appointment after struggling to cope with having lost my father to suicide in April 2009. While I thought enough time had passed, seems grief can surface in waves and can continue to affect one’s life for years to come. I found this establishment through a simple Google. I wanted a therapist geared for grief and loss, not just some psychobabble physician insisting on giving me a drug followed with a pat on the head and a simple ‘good luck!’ So far after two appointments I think this place is fantastic. They are great working with you to schedule appointments around your busy schedule, including some Saturday and late evening appointment times. The rooms are quiet and peaceful, my therapist is kind and non-​judgmental, and the place is easy to find off red line Van Ness metro. If you find yourself needing some extra help coping with loss and grief, make an appointment here. If you find it’s not for you, no harm no foul. There is no shame in asking for help! They do take insurance, just call ahead and check if they accept yours when making an appointment.
