Dr. Kristina Wilder, PhD, CPsych

I feel very fortunate to have the job that I do because it allows me the opportunity to work with people who want to understand and better their own lives. Clients often approach therapy with concern and caution about the difficulties they want to address. So, I view therapy as a team effort, where my clients and I work together to help them address those issues and manage challenges. Our first task is to create a really solid therapeutic relationship between us, on which we can build an understanding of why the client is struggling, and a plan to overcome that. Therapy is fundamentally about changing beliefs and attitudes that aren’t working for us, whether those are about ourselves, the world, or our feelings. I will work with you on those changes to help make the difficulties you face easier to overcome.

I earned my PhD in Clinical Psychology at St. John’s University in New York. I work with adults, using a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approach, borrowing techniques from REBT, DBT, and mindfulness as well. I look forward to helping you on your journey.
