Great to meet you!

Hello, my name is Tele Wilson and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York State. I am an immigrant woman from West Africa. I have a Master’s Degree in Social Work from Fordham University. I have special interest in working with individuals struggling to find meaning in life, have difficulty building positive relationships, battling with self-esteem issues and debilitating anxiety stemming from early childhood adversities and complex trauma.

My approach to therapy

Looking for a safe space to work through past trauma and finally feel more like yourself? I specialize in helping people unpack the experiences that still feel heavy whether it’s childhood wounds, family dynamics, painful relationships, or long-standing patterns that keep repeating. My approach is gentle, collaborative, and paced with you, so you never feel pushed before you’re ready. Many of my clients come in feeling anxious, overwhelmed, shut down, or unsure why certain triggers still impact them so deeply. Together, we explore what’s underneath those reactions. Therapy becomes a place to slow down, breathe, heal, and reconnect.

What you can expect from me

I work with individuals navigating depression, anxiety, self-esteem struggles, and the emotional weight of complex trauma. We’ll gently dig into the root causes not just the symptoms so you can understand yourself more fully, release what no longer serves you, and build healthier patterns that support the life you want.

If you’re carrying old pain, feeling stuck in survival mode, or wanting to break free from experiences that still follow you, you don’t have to do it alone. I offer a free 15-minute consultation so you can get a feel for working together. Reach out when you’re ready I’m here to support your healing.
