Bethany Wilson

Healing from trauma, anxiety, or depression is possible, and you deserve support that actually works. I am a social worker specializing in PTSD, complex trauma, and mood disorders, with training in EMDR, CPT, and CBT: approaches designed to get to the root of what is keeping you stuck, not just help you manage symptoms. I work with adults, adolescents, and veterans, and I bring genuine care to understanding what makes your experience and goals unique. When you are ready, I would love to hear your story and explore whether we would be a good fit.

My approach is collaborative and paced by you. In EMDR, we gently process the memories and sensations that keep trauma alive. In CPT, we examine the beliefs that formed around difficult experiences. In CBT, we work on the thought patterns and behaviors that affect how you feel day to day. Sessions feel like a real conversation: honest, purposeful, and always in your control.

Clients can expect their first session to be a welcoming, low-pressure space focused on getting to know them and what brings them to therapy. We’ll talk about your current concerns, relevant background, and what you hope to gain from our work together. You’re always free to share at your own pace—there’s no expectation to dive into anything before you feel ready.

I’ll also ask some questions to better understand your experiences and help identify patterns or areas we may want to focus on. Together, we’ll begin to outline goals and discuss what approaches might be most helpful for you.

Just as importantly, the first session is an opportunity for you to get a sense of me and how I work. Building a sense of safety and trust is essential, and we’ll move forward collaboratively in a way that feels comfortable and supportive for you.
