Over the last twenty years, mindfulness based therapies have been empirically validated as the "gold standard" for the treatment of many mood, anxiety, and personality disorders. After noticing a distinct lack of and need for mindfulness based therapies in Colorado, Dr. Parker Wilson founded the Awakened Mind Institute (AMI) in Denver, CO in 2006.
According to the National Institute for Mental Health (NIMH), more than 16 million people suffered from major depressive disorder (MDD) in 2016. Also from NIMH, more than 1.3 million of those people attempted suicide in 2016. The last great revolution in the treatment of clinical depression was in the 1980's with the advent of SSRI's like Zoloft and Prozac.

As a Mental Health Therapist, it is essential that I have other professionals in my referral network that I respect and implicitly trust. Dr. Parker Wilson is one such esteemed colleague. Dr. Wilson is a highly trained and expertly skilled clinician who is grounded in integrity, compassionate care, and a firm commitment to helping his clients heal. Applying his extensive knowledge base to customize treatment for each client, Dr. Wilson utilizes cutting edge, empirically-based techniques for a variety of life’s challenges, taking on even the most challenging cases. In particular, I have been inspired

I have really enjoyed being a patient of Dr. Wilson. He is insightful and helps you discover the hidden parts of your inner self while giving you the tools to heal and be the best possible version of yourself. I have learned so much and continue to learn. His calm and respectful manner helped me to trust him, enabling me to open up. This is something that is very hard for me to do, usually. I couldn't be happier with everything he has done for me. Thank you, Dr. Wilson. You're a class act in every way.

I have worked with Dr. Parker Wilson for many months, and am genuinely impressed with his tremendous work ethic; keen intellect; considerable expertise; and firm - but always kind - demeanor. And although I recognize that there are many qualified and talented psychotherapists in the Denver area, I think that Drs. Wilson and Oliver have achieved their outstanding reputations and track records - even for clients who have had disappointing outcomes with other counselors - because they are extremely knowledgable, compassionate, and very careful diagnosticians & therapists. This makes all of the difference

I have known Dr. Parker Wilson for some time, and highly recommend him for anyone in need of a Denver psychologist. Dr. Wilson treats teens, adults, and couples, and his partner, Dr. Kathryn Oliver, treats children. He is an extremely skilled therapists and one of the most non-judgmental and compassionate people I know, who offers a "firm, but kind" approach to psychotherapy. I believe that this approach lessens the time it takes to heal and provides more lasting results. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dr.s Wilson or Oliver to anyone... including my own family and friends. 5 Stars David
