Kaitlyn Wilson

Kaitlyn Wilson

Therapist

Virtual • Portland, OR


My own healing journey led me to discover the incredible power of Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy. This model changed my life, and I knew I had to share its transformative power with others who might be struggling in the same ways I was.

I know what it's like to feel conflicted, anxious, overwhelmed, and confused. I also know the relief, understanding, and confidence that come from doing this work.

One of the most fulfilling moments for me as a therapist is walking a client through an IFS dialogue and witnessing the unburdening of a part that has been waiting so long for support and healing.

I provide a safe, non-judgmental, and allied space for all, including the LGBTQ+ community and clients exploring gender identity. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Oregon (License: LPC-C9920) and a member of the American Counseling Association (ACA).

Therapist

Virtual • Oregon


I've spent 14 years working with people who are dealing with things that don't have easy answers — addiction, trauma that won't stay in the past, chronic illness, grief, and the invisible weight of caregiving for someone else. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor based on the Oregon coast, and I work with adults across Oregon via telehealth. I'm direct, warm, and a little bit funny — therapy doesn't have to feel like a performance. I'll tell you what I actually think, ask you questions that get somewhere, and we'll adjust the approach based on what's actually helping you. I treat anxiety, OCD, depression, PTSD, substance use, and a range of life transitions — including the ones that hit when you're already tired.
