The mind-body connection helps us understand why we think and feel the way we do, action can be taken to modify behaviors.
If we fail to recognize the underlying problem we continue to repeat bad patterns and perpetuate maladaptive coping.

First responders are trained to move toward crisis.
You witness trauma, make high-stakes decisions under pressure, and carry responsibility that most people will never fully understand.
Over time, that exposure can impact sleep, mood, relationships, and nervous system regulation. It may show up as:
• Irritability or emotional numbness
• Hypervigilance even off duty
• Difficulty sleeping or recurring memories
• Increased alcohol use to “shut it off”
• Withdrawal from family
• Feeling disconnected from who you were before the job
At WML Wellness & Wendie Lubinsky Counseling, Briana Bradley, LCSWA specializes in working with veterans and first responders, and our trauma-informed clinicians provide structured, confidential support.
Treatment may include:
• Trauma processing using EMDR when appropriate
• Nervous system regulation training
• Sleep stabilization strategies
• Stress inoculation and decompression planning
• Addressing cumulative trauma exposure
• Relationship repair work for partners and families
Therapy is not about weakness.
It is about sustainability.
You serve others every day.
You deserve support that serves you.

Reminder - Our next seminar is taking place THIS WEEK.
Seminar: Intro to Somatic Experiencing and Co-Regulating Touch
Join us for an introductory talk with Audrey Burke, LMBT, SEP, RYT-200, as she explores Somatic Experiencing®, a body-based approach to trauma healing that supports nervous system regulation from the bottom up.
This presentation will explain how stress, shock, and trauma become stored in the body and how Somatic Experiencing works to restore regulation and resilience. Audrey will also discuss the role of co-regulating touch, particularly in healing developmental trauma and supporting clients who experience chronic nervous system dysregulation.
Audrey is a licensed massage therapist and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner based in Durham, North Carolina. She has completed the three-year Somatic Experiencing training and has studied Transforming Touch® with Stephen Terrell. She is currently advancing her work in somatic touch skills through ongoing study with Kathy Kain.
This is a thoughtful opportunity to better understand trauma through a nervous-system-focused lens.
We look forward to having you join us.

Conflict in relationships is rarely about the surface issue.
It is usually about attachment patterns, emotional safety, unmet needs, and communication styles that developed long before this relationship began.

• Identify negative communication cycles
• Replace criticism and defensiveness with structured repair attempts
• Build emotional regulation skills before difficult conversations
• Establish healthy boundaries without withdrawal
• Rebuild intimacy after betrayal or disconnection
• Learn conflict de-escalation tools rooted in nervous system awareness
Couples therapy is not about deciding who is right.
It is about helping both partners feel heard, safe, and respected.
Healthy relationships are built and maintained over time.

I am Wendie Lubinsky, the Owner and CEO of WML Wellness in Holly Springs, NC. I have completed all CACREP academic requirements from Capella University for the Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and currently working under a CMHC supervisor registered with the NCBLMHC to complete the internship requirements for graduation (projected graduation date of 2021). I have already obtained a Certification in Contemporary Theory in Mental Health Services from Capella University in 2019. I practice Whole Health Coaching with Nutritional Counseling by incorporating physical fitness and nutritional services into the counseling environment for a holistic approach to wellness. I am a Certified Personal Trainer, Group Fitness Instructor, Nutrition Coach, Life Coach, Weight Loss Coach, and Mental Toughness Coach since 2001. I have a Bachelor’s degree from the University of Irvine, CA in English (graduated 2003). My experience in the mental health field began with personal training and nutritional coaching in 2001 by helping clients achieve their goals with motivational and goal oriented programs while simultaneously helping them overcome personal obstacles. While working as a personal trainer and group fitness instructor, I obtained my life coaching certificate and focused on clients with eating disorders. My research and experience with eating disorders has led to the whole health coaching perspective and approach to a holistic view of healthcare and wellness. I have continued to work in the field of nutrition, weight management, and mental health to date (19 years) and have now expanded my education by achieving an MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I have experience working with individual, group, couples, and family settings providing services for adolescents and adults. Areas of therapy include behavioral, trauma, relationship, developmental, family difficulties, eating disorders and s*x counseling. I can help guide and support you through all your obstacles regarding your mental health challenges, nutrition and weight goals by helping you uncover the underlying problems that promote bad habits and prevent you from accomplishing the change you desire.
My whole health counseling company specializes in wellness for the mind and body from the inside out. I believe in a holistic approach to wellness which means you can’t fix just one thing about yourself in order to achieve wellness. There is a mind – body connection that needs to be discovered in order for change to happen. When we understand why we think and feel the way we do, action can be taken to modify behaviors. If we fail to recognize the underlying problem we continue to repeat bad patterns and perpetuate maladaptive coping. We all have goals for ourselves and sometimes it’s hard to achieve them; short on time, no support from family and friends, lack of energy, justifying that your goals are lofty and unnecessary, depression, anxiety, fear, etc. Therapy sessions are dedicated to help you where you need it the most. I practice in individual and family therapy but also enjoy working with couples. Theories I practice are Psychotherapy, REBT, Structural Family Therapy, CBT, Attachment Theory, Exposure Therapy and Cognitive Based Therapies.
