Background

About Ingrid Wheeler

I am an experienced and licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a strong background in behavioral health programs and a passion for making a positive impact in people's lives. My career has been dedicated to providing support, therapy, and guidance to diverse populations, from veterans and their families to rural communities and inpatient care settings. Throughout my professional journey, I have demonstrated a commitment to promoting a positive image for my employers by fostering courteous, helpful, friendly, and professional relationships with patients, visitors, and colleagues. I take pride in my ability to work effectively with individuals from various cultural backgrounds, and my fluency in Spanish has allowed me to bridge language barriers and provide essential services to a broader community. My expertise includes working with dual diagnoses, addiction treatment modalities, and conducting psychosocial assessments. In addition to providing individual and group therapy, I have taken on leadership roles, overseeing behavioral health programming workshops and coordinating with interdisciplinary teams. I have actively contributed to training and supervising graduate students and interns, ensuring that our services meet the highest standards. My dedication to professional growth extends to my involvement in organizations such as the National Association of Social Workers (NASW) and the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP), where I serve as a regional volunteer. Additionally, I am a board member of the East Central Human Rights Authority, furthering my commitment to advocacy and social responsibility. I am enthusiastic about making a positive difference in the lives of those I serve and am excited to connect with like-minded professionals, share experiences, and explore opportunities for collaboration and growth.
