Welcome! I am a Doctor of Social Work and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in North Carolina. I started my social work career in 2005, working with children and families of all ages, races, sexual orientations, genders, and abilities. I have assisted clients with depression, anxiety, attachment, grief/loss, parenting concerns, relationship challenges, trauma, abuse, Bipolar, adjustment issues, and more. I helped families address various concerns that revolved around child abuse, child neglect, domestic violence, substance abuse, self-esteem, and beyond. My current focus areas include sexual trauma, anxiety, work with transgender individuals, and the impact of adverse childhood experiences throughout the life span. I also enjoy working with queer and lesbian women of color interested in processing race, ethnicity, and sexuality concerns at the intersections of gender, oppression, and other unique experiences. My counseling style is client-centered, down-to-earth, and engaging. I integrate my humor and acts of holistic practice to include aromatherapy, healing rituals, and more. While I am not strictly a cognitive behavioral therapist (CBT), I often use CBT and find it helpful if clients are empowered to understand and use CBT outside of the traditional therapy session. Also, I use solution-focused techniques, motivational interviewing, and aspects of reality therapy, to name a few. As a social worker, I am strength-based and conceptualize clients' needs with their unique environments in mind. My goal is to help my clients be the most authentic and empowered version of themselves and live unapologetically real. The process of uncovering and discovering takes courage, strength, and hard work, something most of us have and need a little reassurance. If you are ready to begin a new therapy journey, I will be a professional support for you. You got this! The therapeutic relationship is critical and one of the most important aspects of a successful experience. I consider it a privilege to assist individuals on their journey. I look forward to working with you! In Kindness and Wellness, Kisha

I am a licensed clinical mental health counselor in the state of North Carolina. I having been working in this field for over 25 years. I am fortunate to have been afforded the opportunity to work in a variety of settings. These settings include substance abuse treatment, mental health crises, domestic violence, critical incidences, youth corrections, individual, couples and family counseling. I have worked with clients who have had issues with depression, anxiety, stress and psychsocial problems. While I have benefitted greatly from these experiences, I believe myself to be most effective in individual counseling. I have taken the benefit of all these experiences and combined them to be the best counselor I can be. No matter the initial presentation of my clients, their issues tend to fall into one or more of the areas of my experience. As a therapist, my theoretical approaches tend to be solution focused, reality based with an emphasis on how my client views him or herself and the world around them. I believe we all make decisions and exhibit individual behaviors based on what we perceive is happening to us and the world around us. My goal is to help my clients determine if their beliefs, as well as their actions, are helping them be the best they can be. In addition to that, I work to ensure that my clients have the emotional tools they need to appropriately and effectively manage the emotional ups and downs of life. As I see it, life is "a continuum of temporary circumstances that we all must navigate the best we can with the skills we have". My calling is to serve others, with the hope that I can contribute in some way to helping them make their lives better..

I am licensed in North Carolina with 12 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, abuse, coping with grief, coping with loss, and coping with medical changes. I also have extensive experience in treating those with existing diagnoses which are referred to as “severe and persistent” diagnoses including bipolar disorder, borderline (and other) personality disorders, schizophrenia, obsessive compulsive disorder, and neurodivergent populations from Autism through Dementia. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I welcome clients from every walk and stage of life without any preconceived ideas. You are the one who knows you best, and using the information you provide, I will tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. “Homework” will be suggested for changing maladaptive behaviors between sessions, which helps to bridge the gap between therapeutic changes “in-session” to long lasting changes in your personal life. Therapy is a dynamic and evolving endeavor that will require working together as a team to help you decide what works best for you and helps you to meet your therapy goals. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

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

I am licensed as a L.C.S.W. (Licensed Clinical Social Worker). This license allows me to do the clinical work of psychotherapy in the state of North Carolina. My Master's Degree in Social Work had an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy. I did additional training in the area of Alcohol and Drug treatment post graduate school. I have over 30 years of professional work experience. In that time, I have worked with children, adolescents, couples, individual adults, families/stepfamilies and the elderly. I have worked in in-patient settings, out-patient, residential treatment, Intensive Outpatient and private practice. My academic training was primarily in the area of Structural and Strategic Family Systems, and those ideas are the basic underpinnings of my work. I try to meet my clients where they are at and where they feel comfortable as a starting point. Dependent upon the issues presented and your goals we might delve into your past family of origin issues. But therapy could also be focused primarily on present day experiences and concerns. A lot of my work is in guiding people to learn to improve their life by changing their thoughts and behaviors (Cognitive - Behavioral Therapy). Additionally, I have had past training in the treatment of Trauma. I also focus on the impact on mental and physical health due to larger societal issues such as racism and other forms of discrimination. I support efforts at Equity, Diversity and Inclusion in healthcare. Therapy does not have to be a long, drawn-out process in order to be effective. Sometimes a few sessions may be all that is needed for problem resolution. Many people opt for ongoing therapy as a way to check in and hold themselves accountable for the changes they have made as a result of therapy. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy takes courage as it can be scary revealing private information to a stranger. Most people report some benefits to having seen a therapist. You never know how therapy may benefit you unless you try it. I hope the journey for you is one that brings enlightenment, strength and a renewed sense of yourself.
