About

Hello. I am Terri Wilson, owner and founder of Healing Connections Wellness, PLLC. 

My journey to the mental health profession came through working in the veterinary field. My undergraduate degree is in Animal Science and after working as a veterinary assistant for a mobile equine veterinary unit, I decided to pursue a masters in social work and focus a career on honoring the human/animal bond. I felt called to create a private practice that honors the human animal bond as well as our connection to the natural world around us and all the lessons it can teach us about ourselves and our healing. My practice utilizes animal assisted interventions as support for various mental health diagnosis and substance use disorders through the healing connections to others, nature, community, spirit and self. I also provide support for those in the animal care field, focusing on the vicarious trauma and compassion fatigue as well as grief and loss support for those who have experienced or are experiencing the disenfranchised grief from the loss of a pet or animal companion. I am honored to walk alongside others on their journey of growth and healing through our connection to the world around us.
