Dr. Wendy Hookman is the best. She came recommended by a friend who was looking out for me. I remember the first day I spoke to her on the phone. She didn’t have a session for me that day, but she wanted to make sure I was okay and would be okay until she could get me into her office. I had just given birth to my first child. It was a complicated birth, but what followed were additional traumatic medical events for me. I didn’t understand what was going on but I knew I wasn’t feeling “me”. In fact, I was far from “me”. At the very first session, Dr. Hookman looked at me and my husband and told us everything was going to be okay because she was going to help. The confidence in her voice was pragmatic yet so very calming. Dr. Hookman is confident because she is good at what she does. She’s been there to assist me through various stages of life with all its beauty and complexity. If you are reading these reviews, give WCWCW a call.

Dr. Wendy Hookman is simply the best. She is kind, collaborative, and helpful. As patients go through different phases and experiences in life, she helps them to adapt and approach the challenges that come in each phase. She's professional, listens, takes patients on time, and expresses understanding. Highly recommend!

The stars must have been aligned in my favor when I found Dr. Hookman. She is by far the kindest and most patient doctor that I have ever gone to. My path to achieving happiness has been a rough one, yet she was always there giving me hope and for that I am truly grateful!!!

I've worked with one of the psychiatrists that currently practices at WCWCW and I can not describe how wonderful my experience was with her! She was compassionate and a good listener and I wouldn't be where I am today without her support. I'd highly recommend visiting for your psychiatric needs!

Insurance

Similar to other mental health practices in our region, we operate as an out-of-network provider and do not currently participate in any insurance plans. However, many of our patients have been successful in obtaining partial reimbursement from their insurance provider for out-of-network benefits. Our staff can provide you with our commonly used CPT codes so you can get information about your eligibility for reimbursement prior to scheduling your first visit. Patients often use their Health Care Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) to set aside pre-tax dollars to pay for mental health not covered by insurance.

At WCWCW, our unwavering dedication is centered on providing exceptional mental health care to our patients. We firmly believe in the integration of evidence-based diagnostics and treatment methodologies, ensuring that every individual receives the highest quality of care possible.
