Getting to know Nailah Wilds

Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself? As a dance/movement therapist with a Master's degree in Dance and Movement Therapy from Pratt Institute, I offer a compassionate, holistic approach that integrates both mind and body to support your healing journey. I work with individuals facing a variety of challenges, including eating disorders, anxiety, depression, negative body image, and life transitions. My practice is inclusive and welcoming to all, with a special focus on creating a safe, affirming space for BIPOC and LGBTQ+ individuals to explore their unique experiences and identities.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My approach blends movement-based techniques with evidence-based practices like CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, and somatic practices. Sessions are always tailored to your unique needs, whether through movement, conversation, or both, helping you feel more connected, confident, and empowered.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

The journey of self-discovery, healing, and body liberation can be scary, and that is why my priority is to provide a thoughtful therapeutic setting that is committed to safety and healing as my clients explore their authentic selves and increase the connection of mind and body. I welcome clients of all backgrounds and identities who are ready to embark on a journey toward greater self-awareness and emotional well-being. If you’re considering therapy, I invite you for a free 15-minute consultation to see if we are a good fit. Let’s work together to create a path forward that feels right for you.
