Wendy Cherry, Psy.D, a licensed psychotherapist, is the co-founder and Executive Director of The American Association of Couples and Sex Therapists (AACAST), and the Co-Director of the Couples and Sex Therapy Training Program at UCLA. She is an accomplished educator, lecturer and public speaker for numerous universities, organizations and businesses. Wendy trained with renowned couples therapist Dr. Walter Brackelmanns for seventeen years and furthers her knowledge in the field of Interpersonal Neurobiology with membership in Dr. Allan Schore's Right Brain Psychotherapy study group. Wendy combines an empathic therapeutic stance with a straightforward approach. It is her goal to help her patients feel better as soon as possible. This is accomplished through balancing an understanding presence with the actual "work" of therapy. Wendy believes good therapists are life-long students, and enrich and expand their experience by continuing to educate themselves in emerging theories and techniques in the field of psychology. Dr. Cherry has a private practice in Encino, CA specializing in couples and sex therapy.
