Hello and welcome to my online office. My name is Pamela
Wilder, Ed.S, LPC, NCC, a licensed professional counselor
with 25 years of experience.
My approach is to meet my clients “where they are” and help
them learn what they can control vs. what they can’t
control. I teach clients how to develop coping strategies to
gain control over their thoughts and behaviors while
learning how to let go of what they can’t control.
I use Cognitive Behavioral approach to help clients manage
stress, adapt to life transitions, and understand the
underlying causes of their problems. I am goal oriented and
want my clients to walk away from their sessions with
learning tools they can apply toward any problem.
I hope you will perceive my office to be a place where you
will receive unconditional positive regard while I help you
solve problems of stress, depression, anxiety and
relationships.
My experience includes employee assistance programs,
community mental health, schools and private practice.
