Every level of inner work exists to inspire your continuous growth into self-honesty and love, and this journey has incredible rewards equal to the amount of work.
Wade’s approach is powerful in assisting this courageous work. His practice employs integrative, compassionate and inspiring therapy to help you on your journey.
INTEGRATIVE: bringing together ancient wisdom with modern psychology

Testimonials
“Choosing to work with Wade Botkin is one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life. Wade’s approach is unique and refreshing and unlike anyone I have worked with before.
His skills help you step out of the regret of the past and/or fear of the future and learn how truly to be with yourself and your emotions in the present moment. There have been many sessions that I have come in feeling close to panicked and have left empowered and at ease.
He is understanding, kind and intuitive while also always challenging you to grow. In a mindful and well thought out way, he eloquently guides you to see for yourself where your thinking is holding you back and shows you how to look at your struggles in a new, more empowering light. His insight into the nature of life and his ability to simplify complex situations always leaves me feeling genuinely impressed. Wade truly holds space for you in a present, compassionate, and non-judgmental way and I feel extremely lucky to have his guidance in my life. I highly recommend working with him.”
Client
“I first met Wade during group therapy sessions. I found him to be very attentive, both to me and the group, non-judgmental, and very skilled in cognitive therapy techniques. He was kind, firm, and committed to each member of the group’s healing process. A gentleman who excelled at his craft.
Years later I became re-acquainted with Wade. I was struggling with a lifelong addiction to nicotine and in dire need of help. I had tried everything. Therapy was my last hope. It was thru Wade’s guidance that I re-discovered my sense of self-worth, personal integrity, and commitment to my loved ones. Thru his very honed skills in hypnosis I finally became smoke-free, with no more cravings to battle!
I would not hesitate to recommend Wade to anyone who is struggling, groping with tragedy and chaos. He brings calm to the storm. An asset to his field, to you, and to our community.”
Client
“Mr. Wade Botkin has helped me tremendously throughout my sessions. I had always put my mental health to the side until I made the decision to try talking to someone. Botkin was the best choice for me, simply because of the tools he gives you to work through life and deal with those tough moments. I was deep into substance abuse of alcohol and marijuana before I started seeing Wade, but since I have found new outlets to express my feelings and emotions. He was a tremendous help through my break up, always staying positive and recommending organic ways to cope with stress and sadness. Who knows where I would be if I did not have this outlet in my life and I greatly appreciate the work he does.”
Client
“Wade played a huge role in helping me become a happier, healthier, more empowered version of myself. I saw many therapists before him, none of which were particularly helpful, but Wade broke that trend. There was never a doubt in my mind that he was invested in my well-being and genuinely cared for me as a client. I’m grateful to him for getting to know my struggles and giving me the tools and support I needed to work through them. I’m a better person because of working with him, and love my life more than I ever have before.”
Client

I am so thankful for his compassion and professionalism.”
