Our team includes multiple licensed clinicians and advanced trainees who regularly work with college and graduate students.

Many college students feel overwhelmed trying to balance school, relationships, family expectations, and their own wellbeing. You might be dealing with anxiety, burnout, past trauma, ADHD challenges, or simply feeling stuck and unsure of your next step. You don’t have to handle it alone. I’m Tammy Wilson, founder of Resilience Counseling & Play Therapy, a group practice with a team of therapists and counseling interns who work with children, teens, and adults. I primarily work with adults and children who want a supportive place to process life stress, difficult experiences, and major transitions. My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to each person. Some students prefer talking things through, while others benefit from experiential approaches such as EMDR, cognitive-behavioral strategies, or sandtray therapy to explore thoughts and emotions that are hard to put into words. Our goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you can build resilience, gain clarity, and move forward with confidence.

When life goes differently than anticipated you may be left grieving, feeling disconnected from life, or from yourself. You deserve to have a compassionate space to process and honor your experiences. Together, we'll explore the narratives woven through your life, understanding how past experiences continue to shape your present reality. We will reconnect you to your power, build resiliency, and learn to use your voice to live your life more authentically. With a relationship built with trust and compassion, you're invited to explore your deepest truths, express your fears, and bravely write a new story for your life. Therapy is a collaborative journey, and your voice, experiences, and perspective are central to our work together. Depending on your needs, we'll examine how family, gender, culture, and social expectations have influenced your sense of self, relationships, and aspirations. I draw from a variety of frameworks including Feminist, Narrative, and Family Systems. Reaching out is hard. If it scares you, you're not alone. You may try considering if your fear is saying "now's not the right time" or if its something more akin to "what will this change in my life". Curiosity, excitement, & the adrenaline of taking "the next step" can feel scary. Whatever you decide, trust you're right on time in your own journey.

They have left you feeling depleted, broken, and worn out. You need a reminder of your dignity and resilience and some coping skills for dealing with this very challenging time. I'm here to help. I work with folks facing transitions across the lifespan. I have 25 years experience working with tweens and teens, first as a teacher, then as a counselor. I also love working with young adults as well -- especially those exploring their identity and sense of purpose. You have already taken the brave first step to consider counseling. Give me a call if you are ready to feel seen, heard, and supported as a person worthy of dignity who is ready to discover your best self in a difficult world.

I've had the privilege of walking alongside clients in their healing journeys and have found that, for many whose trust (in others and in themselves) has been shaken, finally feeling heard and understood serves as a powerful corrective experience. I believe that these experiences are crucial in facilitating personal growth and change. I recognize that all clients have unique strengths, and I build upon these to create a working alliance that is non-judgmental, empowerment-based, and client-focused. Many feel alienated not only in their struggles but in their pursuit of wellbeing, especially when they have not received a great deal of support in making the changes they desire. I am honored to provide such support and join clients on their paths toward healing. I specialize in working with adolescents and adults in the treatment of trauma, complex PTSD, attachment, anxiety, and depression. I am trained in and often utilize trauma-focused interventions including Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Forward-Facing Trauma Therapy (FFTT), and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). I also frequently employ solution-focused, cognitive behavioral, and emotional regulation strategies in my practice, depending on each client’s unique needs.
