Welcome! My name is Kristen Wilson and I am a licensed clinical social worker in both Florida and Illinois. I received my Master's in Social Work from Aurora University in Illinois. I have been a school social worker since 2007, working in various schools in both Illinois and then Florida. I became licensed in Illinois in 2015 and Florida in 2019. Since 2019, I have been providing both in-person and tele- therapy to individuals and couples.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, I like to get to know who you are as a person. You will have the opportunity to discuss the issues you want to work on in a supportive and confidential space. The sessions will center around your goals and the topics you want to discuss. In sessions, we will also work on building your coping skills so that you can feel better equipped to deal with daily stressors of life.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My biggest strengths are creating a safe space for clients to feel heard and understood, listening without judgment, and my passion for aiding clients in feeling empowered through their journey. I provide a warm, open, and nonjudgmental space for clients to gain strength, hope, and strategies to become the best version of themselves. Are you ready to become the best version of yourself?
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I strive to create a safe and welcoming environment that allows clients to explore obstacles with concerns related to a multitude of issues. You are taking a great step in caring for yourself by signing up for therapy. Counseling can foster personal development in whatever way you may be seeking and help build the life you so deeply deserve.
