My name is Tatiana Wilson, LMHC. My clinical approach is CBT. I have experience with crisis intervention & trauma, as well as mood disorders. My most common theoretical orientations are CBT & DBT.

I work well with clients who are ready to deal actively with their issues and see real progress. Whether with individuals, couples, families or as a leader of group therapy, I combine psychoeducation and an eclectic mix of techniques from traditional talk therapy, psychodrama, EMDR, Somatic Experiencing and mind-body techniques. My practice has been primarily virtual since the pandemic, but I am starting to see clients in person on Wednesdays. Please inquire!

My passion lies in working with individuals who have been diagnosed with a serious mental illness. My work as a psychiatric social worker has influenced my strong belief in the power of talk therapy within the world of psychiatry and mental health as a complement to other treatments. While medications can treat symptoms, processing past experiences can really help address the underlying issues that may be contributing to the symptoms. As your therapist, I want to dig down there with you to understand how past experiences are impacting you now and explore strategies we can put in place to help you move toward your future.

Individuals and couples who come into therapy are often experiencing some struggle in their life. In therapy with you, my goal is to address these immediate concerns, explore with you how they may stem from longer-term unmet concerns, and work with you toward more effective management and if possible, resolution. With advanced training from the William Alanson White Institute for Psychoanalysis, my clinical orientation is psychodynamic and interpersonal, and we will also use other therapies including Cognitive Behavioral and Dialectical Behavioral for an eclectic, rounded treatment approach.

At times it may seem as if we're at odds with our mind. The thoughts and feelings we experience seem overwhelming. We can convince ourselves we're undeserving of contentment, love, happiness, success, acceptance, etc. Where does that come from and why is it so easy to believe? For those of us in the LGBTQIA+ community, there are added layers we need to work through, making it difficult for us to thrive. Therapy can play a meaningful role by providing a space to work through the layers, confront our hurtful thoughts and feelings, unburden ourselves of the past, and truly learn to thrive.

I specialize in working with trans and queer-identifying individuals, couples, and families on issues pertaining to trauma, identity, self-esteem, relationship and communication issues, and chronic pain/disease. My clients have realized that there were issues in their life they would like to work through, but may not be able to yet fully understand the root causes and the extent of the impact of their issues. They also generally approach therapy with an understanding that often times our issues are directly related to capitalism and intersectional systems of oppression.

LIVE YOUR BEST LIFE! A phrase we often hear but seldom get to experience fully. And why? Because oftentimes people are going through life SURVIVING instead of truly LIVING. We make choices out of fear instead of love. When we are in SURVIVAL mode, we think only to stabilize ourselves in the moment. We may feel anxious, depressed, angry, or burnout. We may struggle with isolation, substance misuse, relationships, or risky behavior. In LIVING mode we are able to regulate our emotions appropriately, communicate effectively with others, maintain boundaries, practice self care, feel safe in our own body and THRIVE.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over a dacade of experience working with individuals, couples, and families. I make sure that all my time with clients feels genuine and personable. I find it a lot easier, and frankly more fun, when you can enjoy talking with your therapist, and the mental health work doesn’t feel like a chore. I primarily work from systemic theories, and incorporate solution-focused work into my practice. After a thorough exploration of presenting issues, I aim to set clear goals for therapy in the initial sessions. I find it is important to evolve solution attempts to get change started.

Difficult experiences and painful relationships can affect our connection with our bodies, as well as our identities, and our sense of self-worth. As we begin to heal our relationship with ourselves, we can expand the ways in which we show up in our lives.

Together we'll embark on a path to help you understand what barriers are present. You will learn to prioritize and trust in yourself, while developing tools to care for your mental health.

The human experience can be extremely tough to navigate, and showing up authentically to support this process as therapist is important to me. I'm eager to learn about you and integrate approaches and evidenced-based tools that might fit your needs best.

I take a psychoanalytic and eclectic approach, and practice Psychotherapy informed by concepts of Cognitive Processing Therapy, Internal Family Systems Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. My role is to be both a "coach" and supporter.
