She’s just awful. Not empathetic at all and mean and dismissive. Wish I could rate her lower than one star. Everything is your fault and she couldn’t give a crap how it makes you feel.

DO NOT see this therapist. I went to her for grief counseling for several major events in my life and not only did she not help me with any of it, she actually implied that I was, in so many words, doing therapy wrong because I would "just come in each time and talk about my week" and she actually said that because of this, therapy might be "a waste of my time and a waste of insurance money." She was dismissive, rude, heartless, unprofessional and in fact her behavior was extremely triggering for me due to the situations I'd been dealing with and she knew that it would be. She then implied she thought since I talked about the same things a lot that I might have some kind of memory problem...I was talking about the same things because they were still going on and she did nothing to help me cope with them. She will NOT help you get better, she will make things worse and you'll have to start all over with a new therapist. Her staff ended up billing me and not my insurance even though I was EXPLICIT with Wendy that I could not afford her rate. I don't know if she just didn't bother to explain it to her staff or what. They fixed the situation and were nice about it and apologized and refunded the money to my account. Wendy however, even when I confronted her about how horribly she left me in my last session had ZERO remorse and in fact tried to imply that I was overreacting to the whole thing. When someone who knows you are in serious grief flippantly implies that your problems (and you to an extent) are not worth the insurance money....RUN away. My PCP ended up putting it in my medical record that I needed grief counseling and referred me to someone new who specializes in grief therapy. Hopefully it will be a better fit. Wendy Hoyt should be reported. And from the many bad reviews I see here, it's clearly a pattern of hers to leave her clients worse off than when they first started with her.

I visited Wendy a few years ago for help with my ED. Simply put, do not bring yourself or your children to her if you do not want them to be worse by the end of their time with her. She is a mean, belittling, passive aggressive bully who spends as much time in sessions berating her patients as she does staring off into space and not listening. She is cold, uncaring, and often seemed to project her issues with her stepdaughter (who she would bring up often) onto me, which was some of the least professional behavior I've ever seen from a therapist.

DO NOT see this therapist. She told me I would “end up on disability” for the rest of my life if i “didn’t get it together”, and during the last session told me “I don’t think I’ve ever helped you.” She is self-absorbed, and a bully. She enabled my abusive family to wield my trauma and their power over me in an extremely harmful way. I used to have panic attacks before seeing her. She did not help me. She also never brought any of her doubts regarding “ever” helping me get better up until the very end, effectively stealing our money and resources for several years. She ruined my confidence and judged and berated me for making mistakes.

It took awhile to get in to see Wendy. I had heard her name from a lot of different people so decided to wait. I did not want to have an eating disorder anymore but it had controlled me for a very long time. Wendy helped me to understand the why behind its control. I liked that she makes therapy less serious by joking around while we talked about what was going on. She worked closely with my nutritionist and doctor too.

She Doesn’t have her license for good reason. The only good reviews are ones she wrote from her narcissistic misperception of herself and the world. Especially do not trust her with kids and teenagers.

I saw Wendy when I was in my early 20s for an eating disorder, honestly I think she made things worse. She did not help in the slightest as a matter of fact my ED got worse while I was in therapy with her. I want to spare others going through what I did, she is an “acclaimed” ED therapist in Utah, but I switched after seeing her for a year and got much better help, and the therapist I saw didn’t even specialize in eating disorders

She isn’t just “mean” as other people have said, she’s rude. Flat out. I take aderall for ADHD and in our first session this woman had the audacity to say “but do you REALLY (with quotations in fingers) need it?” She dismissed my Christianity because I’m a woman married to a woman- then dismissed my marriage because my wife struggles with anxiety. She made me feel 100x worse after every session. I ended up having to go inpatient at the psych unit because I got worse and my social worker there called Wendy and told her I’m never going back.

She struggled to regulate her own emotions and is easily upset when you don’t do exactly what you ask her to do. Don’t recommend seeing her at all. Not a safe person.
