Brooklynn Wilton, LLMSW

Welcome! My name is Brooklynn and my pronouns are She/Her/Hers. I am a Limited Licensed Masters level Social Worker, and I would love to work with you! While you review possible practitioners, let me introduce myself to you.

Starting with education, I received my associate’s degree from St. Clair County Community College where I studied General Education. I then transferred to Eastern Michigan University (EMU) where I studied Social Work and obtained my Bachelor’s Degree. While at EMU I was a part of a service organization that prioritized giving back to Ypsilanti's community. From there I attended graduate school at the University of Michigan, where I studied Social Work. I was in the Integrated Health, Mental Health, and Substance Abuse pathway. I focus on working with youth, families, groups, and neurotypical individuals. Besides this, I was once a high schooler, where I was very involved in sports and other extracurricular activities. I particularly enjoyed volleyball, soccer, and cheerleading. 

More information on my previous work experience; during my undergraduate degree I volunteered with Lori's Hands where I worked with older adults with chronic illnesses. I supported them at home by offering companionship, and concrete assistance. During graduate school, I interned at Sprouted Sage Full Circle Intervention Center, where I worked with children on the autism spectrum. This is where I discovered my passion for working with neurodiverse folk. I also have experience in customer service and nannying positions. 

I decided to be a mental health professional because I wanted a career that was centered around helping others and enacting social change. I wanted a career that I was passionate about, and I found that in social work. 

Modalities that I practice include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing, talk therapy, solution-focused therapy, family therapy, and individual therapy, and I like to integrate play into therapy as much as possible with children, and as much as desired by adults. When working with children it is my goal to integrate play into the therapy because it fosters an environment that is familiar for them.
