Zoom Skype

Meet Dr. Parker Wilson, MA, MBA, PsyD, Buddhist Chaplain, Spiritual Advisor, and Founder of AMI

Founder of The Awakened Mind Institute, Doctor of Psychology, Buddhist Chaplain, and Spiritual Counselor, Dr. Wilson combines evidence-based cognitive practices with the contemplative insight and meditative methodology of Buddhism to guide his clients through meaningful change. NOTE: Due to degenerative health concerns, Dr. Wilson works with only a small number of practitioners.

Please feel free to explore Dr. Wilson's free audio and video content. Recently Dr. Wilson said:

"Suffering is not a failure—it's a signal; at the risk of sounding like a fortune cookie - suffering is an opportunity. Suffering is a cue to more closely examine the pain coming from our bodies, hearts, and minds. Together, using the methodology taught by the historical Buddha himself, you'll learn to work with and control even your most your most difficult and uncomfortable mental phenomena (meaning your thoughts, emotions, dreams, and the like)."

Quick FAQ's

  • What Is "Sex Addiction" and Can It Be Treated?

    Sex addictions are commonly considered to be habitual or even compulsive sexual activities that allow people to exit from connected, authentic and healthy life activities.

  • Do all of your doctors offer Buddhist therapy?

    Dr. Parker Wilson is Buddhist minister and retired psychologist, and he can provide advisement based on an extensive understanding and practice of Buddhist psychology and meditative technology. Dr. Wilson is a university professor, doctor of clinical psychology, and a practicing Mahayana Buddhist. He has been highly trained in Buddhist and existential psychology and meditation by some of the greatest living Buddhist masters of our time.

  • Isn't MBCT (Mindfulness) associated with Buddhism?

    The fundamental techniques for developing mindfulness, while rooted in the teachings of Buddhism, are actually more scientific than religious in nature. Buddhist psychology asks one to deeply analyze one's own existential experience. In other words, unlike traditional religious belief systems, Buddhism is not a faith or dogma based system; nor do its practitioners seek special consideration from a higher power, nor do they seek to convert others to their way of thinking. It is, therefore, more akin to a deep philosophy and empirical understanding.

  • What kinds of therapy does AMI offer?

    Primarily AMI offers cognitive psychotherapy; in particular Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), which is considered the modern standard of care for many types of depression, anxiety, stress, grief, and anger management issues.

  • How much will my therapy cost?

    The Awakened Mind Institute has very competitive clinical fees; this is especially true given the quality of treatment our doctors offer. Generally speaking, individuals and / or families with a household income between $60,000 and $150,000 (or more) find AMI's clinical fees to be affordable.
