Darlene Wilken, LPC, LPC-MHSP

I really appreciate how Darlene checks in on me during the week to see how I’m doing. She is very proactive in that way. We talk about the goals that I said, and whether or not I am meeting them, and just how I am in general. In other words, she is very accessible and caring.

Darlene is a phenomenal therapist. She understands me, validates me when I’m right and tells me when I’m wrong. She’s an expert in so many areas and is REAL Pearson with her own real problems, which makes her so relatable and trustworthy. I’ve been seeing her for over a year which has resulted in the best of days (short sessions) and my worst of days (sessions that have run much longer than planned), and she has always left me feeling better than I did prior to our call, and she has never once cut our session short, she truly cares! If you are looking for someone that specializes in family and addiction, choose Darlene, you won’t be disappointed.

Validating, but challenging. As someone who tends to be information driven and, therefore, a bit of a know-it-all, the awareness of my issues is often the end of them in my mind. These cognitive blindspots have been challenged, and done so tactfully. I know awareness precedes control, but I need to be reminded that it's really the beginning.

Warm, understanding, and a joy to talk to. Darlene offers me the chance to speak freely about my concerns, and gives tangible assignments to do in the interim between sessions, which has helped me a lot! Of the therapists I've spoken with on this platform, she has been by far the best.
