My Story & Mission​

 

Wilcox Wellness, LLC is my solo counseling practice, where I work one-on-one with individual adults looking for more steadiness and clarity in their lives.

​

I started this practice in 2014 after several years in a managed care system, where I often felt limited in how much I could actually help the people I worked with. I wanted the freedom to treat the whole person, not just a diagnosis — and to do it in a space that feels calm and human rather than clinical. That meant a few things to me: an office that feels comfortable to sit in, room for self-care and mindfulness as part of the work, and therapy that's grounded in approaches with real evidence behind them.

​

I'm especially passionate about EMDR therapy. I'm a certified EMDR therapist and an EMDRIA-Approved Consultant, which means I also help other clinicians develop their EMDR skills as they work toward certification. EMDR is a powerful, well-researched approach for processing trauma and the experiences that keep us stuck, and it's become central to how I help people heal.

​

I have a particular passion for working with athletes, creatives, and high-performing professionals — people who are driven and want to get out of their own way, quiet the self-doubt, and do their best work without burning out. Sometimes that's about performing under pressure; sometimes it's about reconnecting with why you started in the first place. And I'm just as committed to staying with those same people when life shifts — when chronic illness enters the picture, along with the grief and trauma of a body, an identity, or a future that no longer looks the way you expected. That transition is hard, and you don't have to navigate it alone.

​

My work is trauma-informed and focused on recovery. The way I work is part precision, part attunement: I like having a clear method and a real plan, and I stay closely tuned in to what's actually going on underneath it for you. I'll respect your pace, your boundaries, and your experience of your own life — and I understand neurodivergence, so however your brain is wired, you'll be met without having to translate yourself first.

​

My office is private and located in East Hampton, Connecticut. I work in person with people who travel from across the state — and from around the world — to do this work together.

​

While I don't specialize specifically in LGBTQIA+ care, this is an inclusive and affirming practice, and I welcome all individuals. I affirm that Black Lives Matter, and I work to recognize and undo racism in my own life and in my practice. 

​

I don't think the absence of illness is the same as wellness, and I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. What works tends to start with your own strengths, and a lot of my job is helping you notice and use them as you work through whatever brought you in — whether that's something from the past, something you're in the middle of now, or something you're trying to prepare for.

​

Beyond the therapy room, I also speak on wellness and mental health for corporations and audiences around the world, bringing the same ideas about resilience and whole-person health into the workplace.

​

Whatever you're carrying, I'd be glad to work with you.
