Russell clinical psychologist Dr. Amy Wendell has made a major investment in her practice to continue to help as many people as she can.
Wendell, originally from Louisville, Kentucky, established Parkland Psychology and Wellness in offices in the Smellie Block in 2019 offering counselling services with a special emphasis on adults dealing with trauma.
She also supervised students – who were also available to provide counselling – working on their Master’s degrees.
In 2025, she began expanding her practice with the addition of four wellness practitioners.
That fall, with her lease coming up for renewal, a house just down the street that she’d been “called to for a long time” came up for sale – the historic “Storey (Elliott) House” located just up the street at 219 Westbourne.
She had always envisioned having her practice “in a home” as opposed to a commercial space and made an offer as soon as she could.
