Amy Wilder, LCSW

Amy Wilder is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in the northwest suburbs of Illinois with over 20 years of experience. She maintains a private practice where she supports children, adolescents, and adults across individual, family, and marital therapy formats, bringing a grounded, person-centered approach to each engagement.

Amy emphasizes collaborative growth and self-improvement, guiding people to better understand patterns of behavior and to develop practical ways of moving beyond obstacles that limit their goals. Her approach blends client-centered techniques with evidence-informed methods to address challenges such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, parenting issues, grief, and coping with life transitions.

She works with a wide range of topics including intimacy-related concerns, eating and body image issues, career questions, caregiver stress, blended family dynamics, and forgiveness. Amy frames therapy as a process of learning and skill-building, helping clients identify steps toward healthier functioning and greater resilience.

Amy invites prospective clients to reach out by message to explore whether they might be a good fit. If a desired appointment time does not match current availability, she encourages a message anyway because she may be able to accommodate specific scheduling needs.
