Getting to know Valeta Wilson

Hello, I'm Valeta. With over 20 years of experience in social services and 14 years specifically in outpatient and inpatient mental health, I've dedicated my career to supporting individuals through various life challenges. My journey began as a mentor for youth in local not-for-profit programs, where I quickly advanced to roles focused on youth development and mentorship. I hold a B.A. in Psychology from Purdue University and an M.A. from the University of Chicago, School of Social Administration. Right after graduate school, I dove into outpatient mental health therapy and have since worked in diverse clinical settings, including home-based, outpatient, inpatient, and telehealth therapy. My approach to therapy is rooted in a variety of modalities, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Problem-Solving Therapy (PST). I believe in tailoring my approach to meet the unique needs of each client, ensuring a supportive and collaborative environment. I specialize in areas such as addiction, anger management, ADHD, bipolar disorder, family relationships, grief and bereavement, life transitions, military and veteran support, PTSD, spirituality, stress, suicidal ideation, self-harming, trauma, anxiety, depression, and adolescent and teen mental and behavioral health. Throughout my career, I've also had the privilege of engaging in collegiate instruction, clinical supervision, and advocacy, receiving multiple community, peer, and congressional recognitions along the way. When I'm not wearing my many social work hats, I enjoy fishing, traveling, and spending quality time with my family. If you're looking for a compassionate and experienced therapist to support you on your journey, I invite you to reach out. Let's work together to navigate life's challenges and find a path to healing and growth.
