Jennifer Wilder is a CSW who resides in Berea, KY with her seven-year-old daughter, Everly. She began her career in 2016 working for a therapeutic foster care agency, supporting youth on the autism spectrum, which ignited her passion for the field and led her to switch her focus from nursing to social work. After leaving therapeutic foster care, Jennifer gained experience in ABA and community mental health, working for a nonprofit that provided school-based and outpatient individual and group therapy for a TRP program. She holds a BSW from Indiana Wesleyan University and an MSW from the University of Pikeville, where she was part of the OWEP Scholar Program, focusing on addressing disparities in substance use treatment access in Eastern Kentucky.
Jennifer strongly believes that adhering to trauma-informed practices and collaborating with clients as experts in their own lived experiences creates the security and rapport necessary for successful progress in mental health treatment. She is excited to be part of Quest, where she knows these values can thrive.
