Dr. Amy Wenzel is a passionate scholar-practitioner in the field of clinical psychology who divides her time between clinical practice, training and consulting, and scholarly writing and research. In her clinical practice, she delivers cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and other evidence-based treatments to adult and adolescent clients with a wide range of emotional, behavioral, and adjustment pr
oblems, such as anxiety, stress, depression, and relationship problems. In her consulting work, she has provided intensive supervision to over 200 clinicians as they acquired skills to deliver CBT in their own practice. Dr. Wenzel is Clinical Assistant Professor at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, where she collaborates with Aaron T. Beck on research related to the theory and application of CBT, and she is an affiliate at the Postpartum Stress Center in Rosemont, PA. She regularly provides workshops, seminars, and webinars on CBT in her role of a member of the speaker’s faculty at the Beck Institute for Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Cross-Country Education. She authors and edits books and treatment manuals on the topics of CBT, adjustment difficulties associated with childbirth, su***de prevention, close relationships, and addictions. In addition, she has been featured in psychotherapy demonstrations filmed by the American Psychological Association. This community page was designed for both clinicians and consumers who wish to learn more about CBT. Clinicians will learn tips for implementing CBT with their client, as well as additional resources that will be of use in their clinical practices. Consumers will learn tips for implementing CBT tools in their everyday lives to achieve well being, quality of life, and lasting fulfillment. Discussion on this page is not a substitute for supervision or psychotherapy. Dr. Wenzel cannot discuss cases or provide psychotherapy on this page. Nevertheless, it is hoped that visitors to this page will leave with nuggets of wisdom that they can apply to their own clinical practices, and to their lives in general, which they can further cultivate with thoughtfulness and reflection.
