Maria Wilson, LCSW

Maria Wilson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed to practice in Indiana and Nevada who brings decades of experience working with children, teens, and families. She combines more than 30 years of professional experience engaging with young people and family systems with over 15 years practicing as a professional clinical counselor, offering a depth of knowledge gained across developmental and relational contexts.

She works with individuals and families on a range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship and family problems, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, grief, eating issues, parenting and fatherhood challenges, anger, bipolar disorder, depression, and coping with life changes. Her additional focus areas include abandonment, adoption and foster care, communication and control issues, codependency, domestic violence, and care for people facing co-morbid conditions or serious medical concerns such as cancer.

Maria draws from a wide clinical toolbox to tailor treatment to each person - using client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), mindfulness, motivational interviewing, narrative and psychodynamic approaches, solution-focused and trauma-focused therapies, and EMDR for trauma processing. She emphasizes sensitivity and respect in the therapeutic relationship and adapts dialogue and care plans to meet each client’s unique needs.

Skilled in working with adolescents as well as adults, Maria aims to create a supportive space for people taking the often-difficult first step toward therapy. She recognizes that beginning treatment can require courage and meets that step with encouragement and practical, individualized support.
