Dr. Wendy Thompson, Ph.D., helps individuals across Michigan navigate challenges with clarity, confidence, and renewed emotional balance. She provides compassionate, evidence-based care for teens, adults, and seniors seeking meaningful change through individual therapy and couples therapy at LifeStance Health. Dr. Thompson supports patients facing concerns such as anxiety, depression, and relationship issues, always tailoring treatment to each person’s needs and goals.

She works extensively with adolescents and adults managing complex life transitions and emotional struggles. Her approach is grounded in collaboration, respect, and practical skill-building, helping patients strengthen emotional resilience, improve communication, and restore stability in their daily lives.

Dr. Thompson is particularly passionate about treating anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress/trauma. She is deeply committed to helping individuals reduce overwhelming symptoms, understand their reactions, and build healthier ways of coping. Her work in trauma-informed care, mood disorders, and stress-related conditions reflects her belief that healing and personal growth remain possible at every stage of life.

She draws from a range of interventions, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based strategies. In addition, she offers couples/marital counseling and provides care for individuals from adoption and foster-care backgrounds, those with developmental disabilities, and people on the autism spectrum. She also provides additional treatment modalities to meet the needs of diverse patients.

With more than 30 years of clinical experience, Dr. Thompson maintains a steady presence of calm and encouragement. Patients appreciate her thoughtful, balanced perspective and her dedication to helping them uncover strengths that support lifelong well-being.

Outside her clinical work, Dr. Thompson enjoys gardening and home decorating, activities that bring creativity and grounding to her everyday life.
