I am Adelaide Wilson, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I use several approaches to therapy and decide with my clients which may be the best option. I am passionate about helping adults: individuals and couples become the best versions of themselves when they address the unique challenges life gives. I specialize in addiction: to alcohol, drugs, or gambling, loss and grief, and working through life transitions.
My approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Logotherapy (Finding meaning and purpose despite unavoidable circumstances) EMDR Schema Therapy Solution Focused Therapy Motivational Interviewing Faith-Based Counseling
My focus
I work with adults: individuals and couples. I treat issues related to stress, addiction, loss/grief, depression, trauma, communication, relationship concerns, anxiety, life transitions, and work/job-related issues.
My communication style
I am open, warm, caring, and approachable. The client feels heard, and valued, and they know when working with me it is a safe, non-judgmental place.
My journey to mental healthcare
Serving in some way has been a part of who I am for as long as I can remember. The idea of being available to help others begin to understand where patterns of behaviors originate from, answering the "Why" questions: Why do I behave like this? Why do I believe this? Why do I think this way? drive me to be the best therapist possible, so that my clients can choose what the best version of themselves could be. A goal of mine is to help clients experience the power of "choice" and experience the freedom this knowledge offers.
My goals for you
Clients tend to know what their goals are. However, by asking open-ended questions to better understand what is going on in the client's life I am able to offer suggestions, ideas, and guidance.
My first session with you
In addition to an introduction, they will be asked several questions that help me better understand who they are and what their needs might be. Clients are free to ask me questions as well. The client and I work together to decide what their goals are and what the client wants differently in their life.
