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.

Anxiety/Panic Attacks-feeling of choking, chest pain or discomfort, feeling dizzy, fear of loosing control, ect. These symptoms can arise from many situations.
