Great to meet you!

Hello, my name is Kirby Wohlander. I am a psychotherapist (LCSW 6835) exclusively providing video psychotherapy and counseling services to individual adults and couples.

I use a warm, inviting, strengths-based, sometimes humorous, skill-teaching approach, helping people to learn the skills they need to learn to cope with, manage, and eliminate their symptoms.

Education:

-Bachelor’s degree (Psychology) UCLA

–Master’s Degree in Social Work from SDSU

–Master’s Degree in Business from SDSU

My approach to therapy

My primary emphasis is on building a relationship with each client so they feel they are safe, and can trust me to deal with them, and their secrets, in a caring, gentle, and compassionate way. My eclectic approach that combines a basic psychodynamic orientation, with treatment techniques and ways of helping clients that come from many sources, including Solution Focused Therapy, along with the anxiety management skills training, CBT, EMDR.

What you can expect from me

Therapy is a journey, and as a therapist, I see myself as a guide to people making that trek. I have been down similar paths many times before, with many others, yet each path is unique, interesting, and sometimes surprising. I can walk with you, and use my skills to show you the way, keep you safe, and also encourage you to use what you find on this journey to help you in the present.
