Esther Wilkison - Intern

My Story
 

Before moving to Colorado to work on a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, Esther gained a wealth of experience working with people of all ages. Her first-hand knowledge of childhood grief as well as dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, and ADHD launched Esther on a quest to understand how the brain learns and how to help others overcome what feels overwhelming.

 

Esther earned a B.S. in Elementary Education and taught a variety of grades before gaining experience in writing, marketing, and publishing. She then served as a caregiver for one parent through a four-year Alzheimer's journey and the other through a nine-year cancer journey. While caregiving, Esther worked for ten years as a youth leader and mentor with inner-city teens.

 

Esther’s one-on-one work as a learning coach for students and their parents led her to her position as an educational speaker and teacher trainer. For two decades, teachers and parents from Los Angeles to New York, and from Honolulu to Manila, found Esther to be a passionate speaker and consultant who connects with the heart while providing hope and practical help for those in need. 

 

Her desire to become a trauma-trained certified therapist led Esther to study at Denver Seminary, where she is finishing her final year while serving as a Master’s Level Intern at High Mountain Counseling. Esther brings to this position her love for people as well as her years of experience helping others overcome challenges.
