Kristin Rodreick Wilson, MSW, LICSW

Are you thinking about seeing a therapist, but worried it might be too ...scary ...difficult ...boring, or the therapist too rigid or pushy? Or maybe it's just the idea of always being stuck sitting in an office that's stopped you?
​Then you may have found your way to the right place!

If you're in need of a good cry, or yell, or to ruminate for awhile, that's cool... I'm pretty laid back and welcome all emotions, thoughts, ideas... whatever. It’s also not hard for me to find humor and make space for the healing aspects of laughter. Clients have frequently expressed that this helps create a safe and relaxed space, and sometimes even makes working through their issues feel a bit more like....a curious adventure.

And Walk With Me Counseling isn't just a catchy name...
We actually have the option to get outside for a walk!
​
​If you don't like the idea of always having to sit in an office, you're not alone. It isn't necessarily the best environment for easy conversation or sharing of personal struggles and issues. But imagine going for a walk... Not only is it good for your physical and emotional health, it can also make sharing whatever is on your mind, far more comfortable.
About Me:
- I've been working in the field of mental health for almost 30 years, much of which was in a hospital Emergency Room. All those years of working with people in crisis taught me that there is always more to a situation, emotion, person, than meets the eye. It has also left me feeling quite comfortable and able to talk with clients about anything.
- Because of my background working in an ER, I tend towards a solutions based approach to therapy, but also utilize principles and techniques of several different theories, including Cognitive Behavioral, Client Centered, Mindfulness, EMDR and Brainspotting. I don’t typically approach sessions in a regimented way (though I can if needed), instead tending toward an eclectic and flexible approach. Just as every person is unique, I believe the approach to their therapy should be as well.
- I work most often with people who are struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, struggles in relationships, significant life changes, or feeling that their lives simply aren't where they want them to be. I have an 'inside' understanding of divorce and blended families, having lived through these experiences myself (as a kid and a parent). And not quite as common, is my awareness of spinal cord injury and paralysis, and its enormous emotional, physical and life changing ramifications, which I've experienced with my step son who was injured at age 15.
