Joshua R Wilson, PsyD, LMFT

Josh has done a terrific job establishing and sustaining a diverse teen group. Having run a few myself, I am aware of the skill, dedication, commitment, and care that is required. Josh does all of this with an admirable grace and fluidity I have never seen in my 15+ years working with teens. I also know that Josh provides a number of other services including psychological testing and individual therapy. Josh is a pillar in the La Morinda area and a safe bet if you are seeking help for yourself or your child.

I have known Dr. Josh Wilson as a colleague and friend since our days together as classmates in graduate school. During that time I was impressed with his blend of ease with difficult situations as well as his very sound background in the theories behind what we were practicing. Since our program ended, he has deepened his educational base by adding earning his doctorate, through five years of intensive study and clinical experience. As a result, he is my most frequent resource when I need professional consultation and collaboration. I have had the pleasure to give several parent education talks with him and these are always very well received. I refer clients to him because I know that he has the skills to uncover the sources of distress and can work collaboratively with his clients to develop a plan to reduce symptoms.
Dr. Wilson is a warm, empathic and safe clinician who also works in an active and direct way. I know that this approach leads to progress for his clients as they identify and work towards specific goals. He is an expert at working with adolescents, young adults, and families who suffer from stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD/​learning challenges, and who may be going through difficult developmental/​life stages. I recommend Dr. Wilson with full confidence.

I’ve known Josh for the last six years as a colleague. He’s an excellent clinician that I would highly recommend. He has a very broad and diverse training ranging from children with autism to adults with Alzheimer’s and he is one of the few psychogists to offer both assessment and treatment. I would refer my own friends and family to Dr. Wilson and consider him amongst my closest colleagues as someone I turn to on complicated clinical cases involving multiple psychosocial, neurocognitive, and behavioral complexities.

During our 5 year collegial relationship, working very closely together, that is working on cases together, coordinating care with him, attending monthly clinical development meetings together, I feel honored bearing witness to the growth Josh had exhibited, both personally and professionally. He’s well-​trained, passionate, deeply compassionate, and highly personable, that is someone you will likely feel safe to open up to, be understood and be therapeutically impacted by his mere presence.

Josh Wilson has been my first referral for students. I work at two high schools in the east bay as an administrator and as a counselor. The total student body is 3600 students. When I have a need for a neuropsychological assessment or a therapist for a student of high risk in some capacity, Josh Wilson is my first referral. His expertise has been invaluable and I have continued to receive postiive comments from the families I refer to him.
