Wendy Weston, LPC

Wendy Weston is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a master’s degree in Rehabilitation Counseling from the University of Idaho and eight years of experience treating addictions in Idaho. She is licensed by the Idaho Bureau of Occupational Licenses as LPC number 6747 and also holds a Licensed Social Worker credential (LSW#24010). She is a member of the American Counseling Association and practices in alignment with the Idaho Board of Licensed Professional Counselors and Therapists and the American Counseling Association Code of Ethics.

Before focusing on counseling, she spent 13 years as a first responder and accumulated ten years of experience within the child welfare system, experiences that inform her work with LGBTQ+ individuals and with people facing substance use challenges. More recently, her practice has centered on supporting those recovering from addictions while also addressing a wide range of related concerns.

Wendy approaches counseling as a collaborative process, emphasizing a client-centered and compassionate stance. She believes beginning counseling is an important decision and aims to help people feel comfortable and hopeful about the process. Her work involves exploring thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and taking practical steps toward meaningful change.

Her treatment approach draws on evidence-based methods tailored to each person’s needs, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused approaches, problem-solving strategies, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction. She frames therapy as a partnership and seeks to support healthy development, growth, and positive action for those she serves.
