**Welcome — I’m So Glad You’re Here** Deciding to explore counseling is not always easy. It takes courage to say, “I need some extra support right now,” and I want to honor the strength it took to arrive here. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, stress, low moods, or just feeling stuck in patterns that don’t serve you anymore—you’ve already taken the first step toward change by being here. My approach is rooted in “Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)”, a method that has helped countless people find relief and build resilience. What I love about CBT is that it’s not just about talking—it’s about learning skills and strategies you can actually use in your day-to-day life. Together, we’ll explore the thoughts and habits that may be keeping you stuck, and I’ll support you in gently shifting them so you can begin to feel lighter, more balanced, and more in control. Here’s what you can expect when we work together: * A warm, welcoming space where you’ll feel truly heard and never judged * Practical tools to help you break free from cycles of worry, stress, or self-doubt * Support in building coping strategies that *fit you and your life* * Guidance in reconnecting with your strengths so you can start to feel more like yourself again I don’t believe in “quick fixes,” and I don’t believe anyone is broken. What I do believe is that small, steady steps forward—when taken with support—can lead to lasting change. My role is to walk alongside you, offering encouragement and practical skills as you navigate your journey. So, welcome. You don’t have to do this alone. If you’re ready to take the next step, I’d love to connect with you. Reach out today to schedule a session—and let’s begin this journey together.

Hi, I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the mental health field for the last 40 years. The first part of my career was in in Virginia working as an emergency mental health therapist in a community mental health clinic. I moved to North Carolina 30 years ago. For 16 years I worked as a mental health therapist in an inpatient psychiatric hospital. Then I went to work for the military as a mental health therapist working with the Marines and Navy servicemembers for the last 14 years. I also had a part time private practice for 23 years where I primarily worked with couples who were working on their relationship. I did not have much opportunity in my full time job to work with couples which is my passion. I was able to meet with couples in the evening to help them resolve their conflicts and develop positive coping skills as a couple. I am semi-retired and living in Florida now. I love being close to family and the beach. I love working with people to help them achieve their goals. My style is to help you develop the goals you want to change and give you the tools to achieve that goal. It is my privilege and honor to help those who are seeking help for themselves. I see my self as an integrative therapist who utilizes many tools to help my clients. I check my messages several times a day seven days a week and will get back to you within 24 hours or less.

Recovery is a long and soulful process. Finding a counselor with whom to collaborate on your personalized journey to a more whole and independent life is like a hero who needs a good sidekick. If you choose to work with me on your recovery and healing journey I will be a faithful sidekick and you will be the hero of your story. I will encourage you, give you feedback, share hard truths with you, maybe even confront you, give you sage counsel, and essentially be part of your tribe. But like every hero's journey, at the end you will have to face your fears without me. But you will have changed, grown, become larger than your anxieties, rewritten your story by replacing words of doubt, pain and languish with words that more accurately and compassionately represent you and the growth you have worked so hard for. I am a psychotherapist here in the mountains of North Carolina. Since I graduated from Montreat College I have achieved full licensure. For the past 7 years I have worked in a recovery based, person-centered therapeutic community with incredible individuals who suffer from major mental health challenges and in some cases addictions as well. Empathy, warmth, humor and confrontation are my strong suits in the therapeutic relationship. My specialty is in treating disorders of overcontrol by learning and practicing radical openness. Does your self-control get in the way of expressing yourself, or get in the way of living a meaningful life? Maladaptive perfectionism falls into this category, along with all-or-nothing thinking, resistance to feedback, loneliness, anxiety, treatment resistant depression and OCD. My preferred modality is Psychodynamic and I also practice Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Eco Therapy, Existential Therapy and I do Brainspotting, Natural Flow EMDR, and mindfulness. I would be honored to get to know you. May your recovery be profound, may your recovery lead to wholeness, may your recovery sustain. Respectfully, Thomas Wilder MA, NCC, LCMHC, LSAC-A
