Wendy Sullivan, LMSW

Wendy B. Sullivan, LMSW is a licensed social worker, who received her MSW from SUNY
Buffalo in 1990 and a BSEd from SUNY Geneseo. Prior to college, she served in the US Army
from 1973 to 1976 and the NY Army National Guard from 1977 to 1980 as a medic and drug and
alcohol counselor. She also received additional family therapy training through the University of
Rochester Family and Marriage Center. Her clinical experience is varied and includes group
facilitation in the M.E.N.S. domestic violence program, psychotherapy at the University of
Rochester's Strong Hospital Intensive Day Treatment program, community based care for families
and individuals with neurological disorders, and Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction groups at the
National MS Society and currently at the Rochester Vet Center (VA). She presently works with war
zone veterans, many of whom have PTSD and/or traumatic brain injuries, and their families at the
Rochester Vet Center. In addition, she facilitates a community Mindful Meditation program at St.
Stephens Episcopal Church, which includes MBSR workshops, retreats for adults and children and
weekly community mindfulness sessions. She is an adjunct faculty member for Stress Management
at Monroe Community College. She actively practices mindfulness meditation for self-care as well.
Wendy developed the Just One Thing cue sheets for use with individuals, couples and groups to
provide a structured weekly complement to Dr. Hanson's Just One Thing book. The weekly
mindfulness groups at the Vet Center and St. Stephen's Church briefly review a chapter each week
and use the cue sheets for practice of the skills between sessions. Individual and couples use the
book and cue sheets to strengthen their skills and relationships by spending time daily reviewing
their practice of the concepts from the book. They find that by focusing on the themes from the
book, they are more aware of the positive aspects of their lives and relationship.
