DBT emphasizes skill-building in mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. Stacy’s approach combines structure with empathy, offering patients the opportunity to practice new strategies in a supportive environment. Her goal is to help individuals gain insight, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and experience lasting growth.

Wendy Espino Barajas, LMFT

Staff Therapist

Wendy Barajas is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with over 15 years of experience working in community mental health outpatient settings. She earned her bachelor’s degree in Sociology from Mount St. Mary’s University in Los Angeles and her master’s degree in Marriage, Family, and Child Therapy from the University of Phoenix. Wendy works primarily with adults and couples and also enjoys supporting children and teens. As a first-generation Latina, she understands the challenges of navigating bicultural identity and generational trauma.

Wendy supports clients experiencing anxiety, depression, eating disorders, workplace or school concerns, peer challenges, and sexuality-related issues. She believes clients are the experts in their own lives and partners with them to find balance and clarity. Wendy integrates humor into sessions when appropriate and brings a firm yet friendly, honest, and down-to-earth approach. She adapts her communication style to meet each client’s needs and enjoys celebrating progress and accomplishments.

Clients can expect to feel heard and seen from the first session. Wendy focuses on building connection, understanding what led clients to prioritize their mental health, and establishing trust. Together, they identify meaningful, attainable goals. Wendy provides respectful and honest feedback while supporting steady progress, viewing therapy as a collaborative journey rather than a race.
