Our Team

Dr. Wendie Lubinsky 

I am Dr. Wendie Lubinsky, the Owner and CEO of WML Wellness LLC and Wendie Lubinsky Counseling PLLC in Holly Springs, NC, a Whole Health Wellness Company. I look forward to working with you as your counselor. I’m licensed as a Clinical Mental Health Counselor (Lic # 17240) under the NCBLCMHC and governed by the National Board of Clinical Counselors NBCC. I have a PhD in counselor education and supervision from Capella University (2024), an MS in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Capella University (2021), and a Bachelor’s degree from the University of California Irvine in English (2003). I am an adjunct instructor at Southern New Hampshire University teaching Master’s Psychology. My related professional experience began with personal training and nutritional coaching from NASM in 2001, however, I am no longer actively working in this capacity. I helped clients achieve their goals with motivational and goal-oriented programs while assisting them to overcome personal obstacles. While working as a personal trainer and group fitness instructor, I incorporated life coaching and focused on clients with eating disorders. My research and experience with eating disorders have led to the whole health coaching perspective and approach to a holistic view of healthcare and wellness, which I achieve through interdisciplinary collaboration. In practicum and internship during my master’s, I worked at both a neuro counseling and biofeedback office and in a private practice setting with individuals, groups, couples, and families providing services for adolescents and adults. 

I specialize in couples, families, and individual counseling. I use an eclectic theoretical orientation to help clients identify meaning in their lives and create goals to move toward wellness. I enjoy working with couples to help them reconnect spiritually, emotionally, and physically and utilize sex/intimacy therapy as part of the integrated process of bringing a couple back together. Areas of treatment include behavioral difficulties, depression, anxiety, panic disorders, obsessive/compulsiveness, trauma, relationships, family difficulties, eating disorders, infertility, and sex counseling. Additional specialty includes clients with trauma, eating disorders, change of life crises, addiction, depression, anxiety, and many more. 

Prior to moving to NC in July 2019 to being my career in the Mental Health field, I lived in NY from 2003 to 2019 where I owned and operated WML Aquatics LLC. My aquatics business employed 52 staff members and managed 16 locations where we staffed lifeguards, swim instructors, and management teams. The business also focused on training lifeguards, swim instructors, and first aid responders. I sold the business in 2019 when I moved to NC.
