I am Dr. Wendell Scanterbury, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and your provider at Xaris. Out of my own life experiences and love for the human soul, I have pursued a journey of learning that allows me to specialize in marriage and family therapy services.
I care for individuals, couples, and families facing various life and relationship challenges such as strained partnerships, anxiety and depression, grief, fear, chronic illness, and life transitions such as living loss, reducing substance or behavioral dependence or family separation or reconnection. I also offer marriage-building sessions and group workshops.
My clients are pre-teens and teenagers, young adults, and adults. I look forward to connecting with you soon!

I have spent several years working with and caring for people in vulnerable and challenging situations, including those living with cancer and other major illnesses, grieving loss, vulnerable youth, broken families, and those preparing for or journeying through marriage.
I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Pastoral Ministry at Nyack College, New York NY; a Master of Divinity in Urban Mission at Westminster Theological Seminary in Glenside PA; and a PhD in Marriage and Family Therapy at Eastern University, St. Davids PA.
I have completed Level 1 Training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy, which I incorporate into my work with couples.

I approach therapy using a family systems perspective in conjunction with solution-focused, structural, sociocultural, and bioecological elements to discover and address the varied needs of my clients.
