Welcome!
I'm Ronda, and I've spent the past 40 years helping people flourish whether in a classroom environment, while dealing with a difficult diagnosis, or through counseling.
Through many different facets: a Chaplain, a Guide, an Interior Decorator, a Mom, a College Professor, and as a Therapist,
my focus is always on helping you find your strength and peace.
Let's talk about mental health and what well-being looks like.
And then, let's move forward with a plan.
If I can send my clients home with three things after every session they are:
-A new tool
-An "I can do this" and
-An understanding that I can reach out to Ronda.
Beyond my own life experience (thank you divorce and breast cancer),
I have years of specialized training in aging (including caring for four parents who have since passed away), grief and loss, anxiety, self-harm, anger, contending with the unspoken, life transitions, mindfulness, self-discovery,
cultural stressors, and caregiving.
I will always honor and respect your deeply held beliefs and traditions surrounding religion and culture, as well as identity and community;
your safety is important to me.
In addition to counseling, I enjoy time with family, reading, walking, visiting, traveling, and writing.
I have been blogging for over a decade at: http://folkladysadventures.blogspot.com/
At Wren House Counseling, I believe everyone has the potential to lead a fulfilling and meaningful life. My purpose is to offer others support by hearing and seeing them first and foremost, and then sharing what I've learned as appropriate.
You are the expert on you, while I am your guide on your journey!
I offer a wide range of compassionate counseling services, and strive to heal others by moving from trauma to self love with the powers of therapy; including individual counseling as well as alternative, evidence-based practices.
The medicine will do its work with you, are you ready to meet the medicine? What are your intentions?
I'm rooting for you! I am here to help you heal.
I'm not going to leave you stranded, and I'm never going to ask you to do something without being right there to walk this path with you.
If you want to understand the root of your challenges, we can do it together.
WREN HOUSE COUNSELING IS BASED IN OREM, UT
