Great to meet you!

Hi! I’m Jennifer Wilson. I’ve been a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) for over 15 years. I received my Bachelor’s in Psychology and Master’s in Social Work from The University of Texas at Austin.

I believe the heart of effective therapy is a genuine human connection. I am Gottman and EMDR trained and have certifications in several other modalities, but above technique, I believe in safe, authentic and agile connection to find healing.

My approach to therapy

My approach is shaped by both professional expertise and deep lived experience. Growing up internationally in a multicultural home taught me that the need for connection is universal. Having navigated the profound grief of caregiving for my terminally ill husband and ultimately widowhood while raising young children, and now parenting a child with ADHD in a blended family, I understand firsthand the invisible threads that can strain and ultimately strengthen our relationships with ourselves and those we love. I would be honored to help you find ways to build a meaningful and beautiful life amidst crisis and complexity.

What you can expect from me

In our sessions, my priority is that you "feel felt" and safe. Research shows this bond is the single most important factor in your progress. I believe you are the expert on your own life and part of my job is to bear witness to your story and help guide you towards your own unique genius and capacity to self-heal. We will combine emotional safety and hopefully some humor with practical tools and psycho-education to clear the fog of crisis or stagnation, empowering you to build the life you deserve.
