Meet Your Therapist
My name is Kenya Wilder and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York City, and have been providing direct and indirect clinical services for more than 20 years. Since earning a Master of Social Work degree from Adelphi University in 2000, I have provided treatment for clients with Addictions, Anger Management, Anxiety, Depression, Grief & Losses, Relationship issues, Self-Esteem, Chronic Illness, Psychosocial Stressors, Trauma and Abuse. I have experience in working with children, adolescents, adults, partners and families.
One of my greatest strengths is being able to successfully create a strong therapeutic alliance with my clients early on in treatment. I pride myself on being a people person, empathetic, compassionate, supportive and a good listener.
As you make additional steps in your journey, we will work together identifying the problem and setting goals to bring about positive change in your life. Every step will be at your pace.
My Journey
Growing up, I watched my mother advocate on behalf of others. She was an ordained minister and a social work therapist. Helping and caring for others was not only her passion; it was her way of life.
After years of admiring my mothers career and taking an introductory psychology course in college, I immediately realized I wanted to walk in her footsteps and become a therapist.
