Kristin Wilson
MSW, APSW

I am a deeply empathetic and non-judgmental person who enjoys laughing at myself and with others. I listen well and will provide clients with the time and guidance they need to understand themselves better. I believe that we have a tremendous capacity to heal and to change our lives for the better. I meet clients where they are at and help them navigate through life’s challenges. 

 

I am passionate about trauma informed care, equity issues, racial justice and the belief in our potential to heal and grow. I know that seeking and gaining support can be scary and immensely rewarding at the same time. You may be living with your own or others’ mental illness and/or addiction, dealing with losses and unexpected transitions, feeling overwhelmed with some new circumstances, and/or tired of feeling stuck. It takes courage to start unpacking the layers of baggage that have been weighing you down.
