Chris Wilder, LGPC
Therapist | Adolescents & Young Adults
Life Challenges • Confidence • Goal Setting • Stress
I work with adolescents and young adults who may be navigating stress, change, uncertainty, or other challenges that can make it difficult to feel confident about what comes next.
I believe everyone can benefit from having trusted support, no matter how simple or complicated their story may feel. My approach is practical and collaborative, helping you identify what’s getting in the way, recognize your strengths, and take manageable steps toward the goals that matter to you.
You Might Be a Good Fit If...
School, relationships, responsibilities, or everyday stress are starting to feel overwhelming
You’re struggling with confidence, self-doubt, or feeling unsure of yourself
You’re adjusting to life changes, new responsibilities, or greater independence
You feel stuck and aren’t sure what your next step should be
You want practical ways to approach challenges differently
You’re ready to set realistic goals and make steady, meaningful progress
You’re looking for a therapist who is supportive, straightforward, and collaborative
My Approach
My therapeutic approach may incorporate:
Solution-Focused Therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Mindfulness-Based Approaches
Strength-Based, Goal-Oriented Support
The specific approach we use will depend on your individual needs, experiences, and goals.
You don’t have to work through every challenge on your own. I provide a supportive space where you can talk openly about what’s happening, figure out what you want to change, and identify practical steps that can help you move forward.
Using solution-focused therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and mindfulness, we can look at the thoughts and patterns influencing your experience, build skills you can use outside of therapy, and create realistic goals that fit your life.
My approach focuses on steady progress rather than having everything figured out at once. Whether you’re navigating stress, greater independence, uncertainty, or simply trying to feel more confident in yourself, we’ll work together to build on your strengths and move toward what matters to you.
How I Can Help
Adolescents
The teenage years can bring changes in relationships, school, family expectations, independence, and identity. I work with adolescents to better understand what they’re experiencing, strengthen coping skills, and develop practical ways to navigate challenges with greater confidence.
Young Adults
Young adulthood often comes with new responsibilities, decisions, relationships, and expectations. Together, we can make sense of what you’re navigating, identify what matters most to you, and develop realistic steps toward where you want to go.
Confidence & Self-Growth
When you’re questioning yourself or feeling stuck, it can be difficult to recognize the strengths you already have. We can work together to identify patterns that may be holding you back, build confidence in your ability to handle challenges, and create goals that feel achievable.
Stress & Life Challenges
You don’t need to be in crisis for therapy to be helpful. Whether you’re dealing with everyday stress, a difficult decision, changes in your relationships, or uncertainty about what comes next, therapy can provide space to sort through what you’re experiencing and develop practical ways forward.
