Nailah Wilder
Hi, I’m Nailah! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California with more than 15 years of experience in the mental health field. I’ve worked with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, PTSD, grief and loss, ADHD, relationship and parenting challenges, major life transitions, stress, and adoption-related concerns. I believe therapy should feel like a space where you can show up as yourself, feel supported, and also be challenged to grow. There is no one-size-fits-all approach, so I take the time to understand who you are, what you’ve experienced, and what you hope to get out of therapy. Together, we’ll explore the patterns and experiences that may be affecting you today while also developing practical tools you can use in your everyday life. My goal is to help you feel more confident in understanding yourself, navigating challenges, and making changes that feel meaningful to you.
I have extensive experience working with adolescents, adults and families on addressing symptoms of anxiety, depression, ADHD, life changes and adoption-related challenges.
First session
In our first session, my focus will be on getting to know you, your story, what’s bringing you to therapy, and what you hope to get out of our work together. I’ll ask some questions to better understand your experiences, but there’s no pressure; you can share at your own pace. Together, we’ll begin to outline goals that feel meaningful and manageable for you.
Strengths
One of my biggest strengths is my ability to connect with people and create a space where they can be themselves without feeling judged. I’m warm and supportive, but I’m also willing to gently challenge you when I notice patterns that may be keeping you stuck. I bring a practical, collaborative approach to therapy. We’ll make space to understand what you’re feeling and where it comes from, while also identifying tools and strategies that can help you move toward where you want to be. I also recognize that there isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach to therapy, so I work with each client to find what feels most helpful and meaningful for them.
