Nadine Wilches LCSW CIMHP
Welcome!
We will work together to inform an understanding of strengths and needs and design a custom treatment plan. We will work together to equip you with the tools you need to perform at your best. We integrate several different highly effective therapeutic, health and wellness techniques to meet each person's goals. This is a practice focused on assessment, resourcing, and treatment planning which equips patients with a set of tools to build capacity.
We partner with schools to co-design an individualized sustainable preventive mental health program using an integrative and systemic framework grounded in research to measurably and profoundly decrease mental health risks and educator burnout. Through extensive research and practice, I have designed a 5-Elements model to promote mental wellness to get ahead of the problems.

Individual, Family & Group Mental Wellness Counseling
I work with all ages and mental health symptoms including anxiety, trauma, phobias and complex family and relational dynamics. I specialize in adult and child emotional dysregulation caused by trauma or other life effents as well as family systems, children with neurodevelopmental, medical and neurological conditions that impact their mental health. I integrate physical activities and sensory techniques that activate the bodies natural chemical responses to reduce the need for medication. I also use expressive arts as an effective tool to relieve stress, improve mood and increase communication. I have a specialized parent-child-interaction-therapy program through in-home video and I offer periodic group treatment.
My work is systemic- focusing not just on the individual and family but school, work, and other major life networks. I also work to consult with schools to support children and families from a preventive and response approach to reduce and eliminate bullying, isolation, school drop out and lower risk of suicide and shootings. I am able to travel for these consultations.
I use evidenced-based practices and evidence-informed decision making through data driven evaluation.
I also use Cognitive Testing through Cambridge Brain Sciences, Photobiomodulation, Neurofeedback, Herbs, Nutrition, Integrative Medicine, Yoga, Neuroflow and Heartmath to support patients progress among other tech tools and apps.
School Mental Health Prevention
Schools are in a unique position to move beyond SEL and integrate promotive mental wellness strategies that actually prevent mental health issues, behavioral problems, and burnout.
Teachers are overwhelmed by students' range of needs and issues. They are not taught in school how to handle these emotional reactions and behaviors and certainly not while teaching a full class. Administrators also haven't been given the tools to guide and support teachers with this either, while parents are doing their best from home with no handbook.
This program provides training, coaching and consutlation on the 5-Elements Model to design an individualized implementation plan for each school equip with strategies, resources, tools, community integration, and the capacity to continue the program year over year toward advancement. We can help teachers and administrators maintain a sense of purpose and drive given a wide range of student needs. Students are given tools but so are the teachers!
Nadine has integrated best practices across evidenced-based therapies and new research and coupled that with her years of experience working with schools and children and families to bring this program to your schools. It is easy to implement, knowing you want new programs but need to be able to learn them quickly and easily. The program is trauma-informed and culturally competent to integrate into any school or program.
