Torie Pendleton, Resident in Counseling

I help clients who are dealing with overwhelming anxiety, depression, or difficult life transitions, as well as those who are experiencing intrusive thoughts and compulsions. If you feel pressured by constant worry, apathy, and "what-if" thinking, you are not alone and counseling can help! By sharing your concerns, you can work toward emotional and mental wellness. I enjoy working with diverse populations and consider it a privilege to learn from each person's unique story, strengths, and life experiences.

I help clients explore the "why" and "how" of their anxiety, OCD, depression, or adjustment issues. We'll walk through how you are feeling, what you are thinking, and how it is effecting your daily life. Using multiple types of treatment, my goal for my clients to learn to accept life as it is, then commit to making changes for a better you.

You’ve already taken an important step by seeking support, and I’m here to help you create the change you seek.

I am a Resident in Counseling who works with individuals seeking greater clarity, resilience, and purpose in their lives. My approach is grounded in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), an evidence-based model that helps clients develop psychological flexibility, manage difficult thoughts and emotions, and take meaningful action guided by their values.

In therapy, I focus on practical, skills-based strategies to support concerns such as anxiety, stress, depression, and life transitions. ACT emphasizes mindfulness, acceptance, and values-driven living, allowing clients to move forward even when challenges are present.

For clients who prefer it, I also offer the integration of Biblical guidance into therapy. This is always client-led and thoughtfully incorporated alongside clinical best practices, ensuring that faith serves as a supportive resource rather than a requirement.

I strive to create a collaborative, respectful, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel supported in their growth and healing. I welcome the opportunity to work with you as you pursue meaningful and lasting change.
