“Lets Make the rest of your life the best of your life!”
Who we are
Maila E. Wilson, LMFT Psychotherapist
I’m Maila E. Wilson, an LMFT with a Master’s degree in Clinical Counseling Psychology, and I have been practicing psychotherapy in California for over a decade. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working with individuals, couples, families, and children from many diverse communities. I’ve also gained valuable experience in detox, residential, and intensive outpatient settings, which has helped me grow and refine my therapeutic skills.
I specialize in many areas including crisis intervention, depression, anxiety, self-harm, PTSD, autism spectrum disorders, bipolar disorder, schizoaffective disorder, personality disorders, grief, anger, and self-esteem issues. I also have a strong dedication to supporting active duty military members, their dependents, and first responders by providing trauma-informed and culturally sensitive care tailored to their unique needs.
My primary approach to therapy is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I believe in meeting each client where they are and collaborating to create treatment plans that feel comfortable and motivating. I strive to provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where trust can be built and healing can take place. Therapy isn’t always easy, but with commitment and support, it’s absolutely worth it.
“Above all, my goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where clients can feel empowered and supported on their journey toward positive change. While therapy can be challenging at times, I am here to guide and walk alongside you, offering empathy and compassion every step of the way.”

Sarah Hecox
Practice Manager
"As the practice manager for Empathic Pathways Psychology Inc, my job is to keep everything running smoothly behind the scenes. I handle scheduling, manage patient records, and take care of billing. I help maintain a welcoming environment for patients, manage day-to-day logistics, and ensure we stay in compliance with all regulations. My goal is to make sure the clinicians can focus on their work with patients, while I take care of the operational side of things—so the practice is both efficient and supportive for everyone involved."

"My approach to building client relationships centers on fostering a foundation of trust, unconditional positive regard, and deep respect. I believe in meeting each individual where they are, understanding their unique perspective, and offering a safe, non-judgmental space for them to explore challenges and process emotions. This includes providing alternative perspectives when appropriate, but always prioritizing the client's autonomy and pace of progress. My commitment to diversity informs my practice, ensuring that I adapt my methods to best suit each individual's needs and cultural background, fostering an environment that encourages growth and self-discovery at their own speed. The goal is to create a genuine connection that empowers clients to overcome obstacles and achieve their personal goals."
"Working in the field for over a decade, my professional background centers on substance abuse counseling, with a particular focus on individuals grappling with compulsive disorders alongside co-occurring conditions such as depression, anxiety, and PTSD. This experience has been cultivated across diverse settings, encompassing the intensity of inpatient programs, the structured support of reintegration programs, and the ongoing care provided in outpatient settings. This varied experience has provided me with a comprehensive understanding of the multifaceted challenges individuals face throughout their recovery journey, from acute crisis management to long-term relapse prevention strategies. Exposure to these different treatment modalities has allowed for the development of adaptable and effective therapeutic approaches tailored to individual needs and circumstances."
"To maintain balance, I do enjoy spending time outside, enjoying hikes, running, and spending time at the beach. I also appreciate the art of reading and taking in the little moments."
