Kirsten Kilroy

Hi, I’m Kirsten Kilroy—a social worker, writer, and host of The Wild Growth Therapist Podcast. I specialize in walking with teens and young adults through the sacred, gritty work of healing—especially those navigating eating disorders, trauma, anxiety, body image, and identity.

I’ve been through the storm of my own mental health journey. I’ve sat in therapy chairs, spent time in residential treatment, and done the work of rebuilding from the ground up. And I also know the wild, unexpected grace that can meet us in those places.

My heart beats for honest conversations, faith that makes room for doubt, and recovery. I believe healing isn’t linear, perfection isn’t the goal, and softness is strength. 

Whether you’re a therapist, a client, a survivor, or someone just trying to make sense of your story—you are welcome here. You don’t have to have it all figured out. You just have to show up.

Let’s grow—wildly, gently, together.
