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 pursued a therapeutic specialization that has been proven to be highly effective in increasing trust, bonds, and empathy called 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.

When I’m not helping clients, I enjoy spending time with my husband, family, friends, and my dog. You'll find me hiking trails or looking for places to paddle board, planning my next adventure, poring over wellness literature (for myself, my family and for yours too!), coaching girls’ soccer, or getting in a quick workout. I'm also a mom who loves connecting with other parents and staying involved in my kids' activities.  I value volunteering in my local community and teaching my daughters to have eyes to see others who are in need. But at the end of the day, quality time with my husband, our two teenage daughters, extended family, and inspiring friends is what grounds and refreshes me.

  • “We are so grateful for the safe and supportive space Kim created. She is always kind, trustworthy, and empathetic in every session, which made us feel comfortable from the start. Not only has she helped us overcome some difficult times, but she has also guided us to a much healthier relationship. Relationships take work, and with Kim’s help, we were able to open up, be brave, and break patterns. We would highly recommend Kim to anyone looking to improve their relationships with their spouse, family, or themselves.” (Matt and Lauren, 33/36)

  • “My husband and I began working with Kim to help improve our communication. Kim provided each of us with a level of trust and thereby comfort, enabling us to speak openly and honestly with one another. Doing so allowed each of us to feel heard and understood. Allowing the two of us to communicate more openly, eliminated feelings of hurt and anger and brought us closer together.” Samantha 50
