Hello! My name is Nailah Wilder and I am so happy that you found me. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the State of California, with more than 15 years of experience in the mental health field. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, PTSD, grief & loss, anger and stress management, parenting challenges, ADHD, life changes and adoption-related issues to name a few. I understand the importance of acknowledging everyone's individuality and that there is no one size fits all approach to therapy. It is my goal to meet you where you are and create a safe space to support your needs. I believe in supporting clients through the process of gaining insight into their challenges and collaboratively identifying practical tools and techniques for utilization to confidently make desired life changes.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Takeaways from sessions with me include a person-centered approach that will assist you with identifying treatment goals, strategies for processing thoughts and feelings, and skills-based steps to move toward the life that you want to live. I hope to be a source of empowerment, reflection and encouragement during challenging times.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I utilize principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused CBT, Solution-Focused, Short Term Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Internal Family Systems and Narrative Therapy to assist clients in achieving their goals.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My biggest strengths are connecting with people, meeting them where they are and creating a plan to get them to where they want to be. I have extensive experience working with adolescents, adults and families on addressing symptoms of anxiety, depression, ADHD, life changes and adoption-related challenges.
