David S. Wilde LCSW, JD

"My wife and I started seeing David to deal with some marriage difficulties. David didn't allow us to waste our time and money arguing over the petty details, but got right to the heart of the matter. He is an amazing listener and very empathic and perceptive to both points of view.

 

He challenged us to take a look at ourselves objectively, even when at times it was hard to do so and it was from a view point that wasn't a judgment but an honest reflection. David is an old soul and has a rare and unique gift of blending the spiritual and the clinical, the caring shoulder to cry on and tough love when needed.

 

If it hadn't been for his sessions, my wife and I would not have arrived at where we are now, both better people for it and we're now very happily married and our marriage is all that we always wanted it to be. Without David's help, our family wouldn't have healed and my wife and I wouldn't have welcomed the newest addition to our family, whom we gave the middle name "David"." ~ Andy W., Software Engineer

 

 

 

 

“David Wilde is my and my husband’s relationship coach. What is most astonishing about David is the way he interweaves spiritual insight through life’s challenges to effect authentic change, from the inside out. David has helped guide us towards an expanded gratitude for each other and the expectancy of miracles in our daily lives.

 

He tenderly (yet directly and persistently!) dips his finger into one’s pools of emotions that are often so muddled as to be rendered nearly unrecognizable – and raises them to the light of awareness. David’s keen perception navigates the underlying layers of what is being said until the real issues naturally surface. When that occurs solutions and forward progress are rapid. 

 

I especially treasure David’s spiritual approach to the “ordinary” - not through any organized belief system but through the realness of living love itself. David has held a lamp upon the individual streams of our own life forces while enabling us towards unlimited possibilities. I can recommend David Wilde in all facets of support as a unique, spiritually-based life coach whose own being stands as his resume.”

“David is a very down to earth guy who puts you at ease almost instantly. He uses his vast knowledge and past experiences to ask all the right questions to not only get to know what makes me tick but also to get me to think things through, through different eyes.” ~ Lynn B. 

 

 

 

“David’s spontaneous intuitiveness is my favorite quality. He always asks the perfect question for me, or suggests the perfect answer. Sometimes he doesn’t even know how perfect it is, but he just goes with what he feels. He keeps me moving in a healthy direction. And I always leave lighter than when I begin. That’s my favorite part of seeing him. Even if we deal with something that is really heavy for me, I always lighten up and laugh. That is so healing..."

~ Sharon F.

 

 

 

“The most important factor in choosing a counselor was my need for a spiritual foundation from which to work and progress. I quickly found that strong connection and “safe place” with David, and was able to work through many of the challenges I was facing, including serious health issues and the pain of divorce. David helped me to navigate through these difficult times with a greater sense of strength and clarity, to let go of fear and move forward toward a new life. That kind of support is crucial and the benefits are priceless!” ~M.B.

 

 

 

“We have learned, with David’s help, that we create and magnify what we want to see, and that changing what we want inside recreates the world itself. We can never again fool ourselves that we are not, one choice at a time, “selecting and projecting” onto others exactly what we ourselves most want. The magic wand of possibility is in our hands right now! Who would have guessed?” ~ Rob, Branch Manager/Designer

 

 

 

 

David Wilde facilitated some very important healing sessions for me and my sister. Although we covered some painful and long-standing emotional territory, David helped us communicate with each other- and with ourselves- in a skilled, caring, and deeply insightful manner. David struck the perfect balance between reflective listening, gentle exploring, and sharing of practical advice. Thanks to his wonderful skill, David has helped my sister and me build a much deeper understanding of each others' wishes and needs, and how we might meet each other half way to continue to enjoy a loving, supportive and mutually satisfying relationship. David is a real pro and an authentic, spiritual person (with a great sense of humor as icing on the cake!). I would recommend his counselling to even the most skeptical cynic. Thank you, David Wilde. ~ Lisa

 

 

 

“I first started going to David to deal with difficulties in my marriage and definition of self. When he suggested EMDR as a treatment to deal with the issues we uncovered, I was curious but skeptical. What followed was a rapid approach that I can only define as astounding in what it uncovered, in how it helped me heal, in how quickly it moved us to the next level of dealing with the changes I needed to make. David not only answered questions and concerns, but gave me tools to use everyday to help in dealing with what life brings. I truly believe I was changed for the better and the effect of my sessions on myself, and on my relationship with my husband were life-altering.”

~ Stacy, Research Specialist

 

 

 

 

“The thing I appreciated most about working with David is the way I was heard…he is an active listener. David patiently helped me move through and beyond a very painful family situation that had kept me stuck for years. I was seeking and praying for a therapist who would take my spirituality seriously and not dismiss my views…I found that person in David. The most difficult thing to come to terms with sometimes is acknowledging your own truths, accepting them, and then acting in accord with them…David helped me to recognize my truths and gave me permission to feel okay about them.” ~ Robin, Office Manager

 

 

 

“David, my most favorite thing about you (and I find you different from my other therapist in this regard) is that you are willing to talk about yourself and your own struggles. It makes our interaction more human and not clinical… I would describe you as someone who is very knowledgeable about how our bodies respond to fear. I like your spiritual approach to anxiety.” ~ P.E. 

 

 

 

“Therapy with you enabled my husband and I to address specific issues in our relationship and address overall patterns preparing for marriage… Our experience was very positive.” The part of the coaching/therapy that really worked for Lauren was, “Using the Imago technique, meditation, role-playing, your willingness to request and use different approaches at our request.” Lauren described David and his work as an “individual/couple/family therapist who’s very approachable & down to earth and employs a variety of techniques to address specific problems or enhance interactions.” ~ Lauren Chesley

 

 

 

“A spiritual psychotherapist, able to combine all aspects of the human being… The therapy was a wonderful tool to help our marriage to reach deep levels of honesty and stuffed feelings… We enjoyed the sessions, healing experience, had fun & gut level honesty/work…A safe environment with a spiritual foundation was felt in your sessions.” Mary-Ellen indicated that what really worked for her was, “Having my feelings being validated, being heard, feeling safe & not judged.” ~ Mary-Ellen M.
