Professional statement

Jamie Wendt is an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist based in Westlake Village, California. She specializes in women's issues, young adults and children's mental health, anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

Being a young adult comes with a lot—figuring out your future, managing relationships, dealing with stress, and trying to keep it all together when it feels like too much. Maybe anxiety is making it hard to enjoy things, or you feel stuck in your head, second-guessing yourself. Maybe you’re feeling drained, unmotivated, or just not like yourself. It can be hard to talk about, but that’s where therapy comes in.

I work with college students and young adults struggling with anxiety, depression, and major life changes. My approach is direct, thoughtful, and down-to-earth. I won’t just sit back and nod while you talk—we’ll actually dig into what’s going on, figure out what’s making things feel so hard, and find real ways to make it easier. No pressure, no judgment, just space to be honest and work through things at your own pace. You can do therapy from the comfort of your dorm room or house, or come in person if that feels right for you.

If any of this sounds familiar, let’s talk. Therapy doesn’t have to feel intimidating, and you don’t need to have everything figured out before you start.


Message to clients

Welcome!

Starting therapy can feel like a big step. Wether you're here because you're navigating a life transition, struggling with anxiety, depression, or relationship challenges, or just want a space to explore what's happening in your life, you're in the right place.

Before I’m a therapist, I’m a person—someone who loves sweet drinks, spending time in nature, and being with my dogs. I try to embrace the little moments that bring joy and connection.

I believe that the best therapy happens when there’s a real, human connection. I bring warmth, authenticity, and a little humor into the therapy space because healing doesn’t always have to feel heavy. My goal is to create a space where you feel seen, heard, and accepted for exactly who you are—where you can show up without judgment and explore whatever’s on your mind.

At my core, I value authenticity, self-compassion, and respect. I know that reaching out for support isn’t always easy, but you don’t have to go through it alone. Therapy with me is a collaborative process, whether we’re working through anxiety, big life changes, relationships, or self-esteem. Together, we’ll explore what’s holding you back, build on your strengths, and find ways to create a life that feels meaningful and fulfilling to you.

If this sounds like what you’re looking for, I’d love to connect. Let’s find a time to chat—I’m here when you’re ready.
