Kim Wilson, LCSW

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Pennsylvania (CW015579). I received my Master’s of Social Work Degree from the University of Pennsylvania’s School of Social Policy and Practice and my B.S. from The Pennsylvania State University in Human Development and Family Studies.   My coursework and experience working with people throughout their lifespan have given me a unique ability to value people’s generational histories, barriers, and progress.  What makes me different than many other therapists is my decade-long career in Interventional Research.  Throughout my employment of working on research studies at The University of Pennsylvania’s Centers for the Studies of Addiction and AIDS Research, as well as The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia’s Family Intervention Science and the Departments of Psychology and Child Development, I learned the value of how to ask questions that can tell both the client and therapist a lot about positive and negative behavioral and relational patterns as well as which interventions have lasting impacts on well-being and relationships. Therefore, I searched for a therapy to specialize in that has been proven to be highly effective in increasing trust, bonds, and empathy- Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT).  I currently serve on the Philadelphia Center for EFT Board and am enthusiastic about educating couples and new therapists on life-changing EFT core principles (https://www.philadelphiacenterforeft.org/).
