HEAR FROM OTHERS
"There was an instantaneous connection when I started working with Whitney several months ago. I came to Whitney after 2 failed attempts at therapy, for my own resistance, and I wasn’t that confident in myself that I’d stick with it this time. Whitney has challenged me to shift my thought process and/or perspectives for more insight and awareness into myself. She’s allowed me to get off track and then pulls me back. She’s creative in her approach and flexible in her thinking. Most importantly she’s allowed me to be me, in all of my mess, I’m comfortable and I know she gets “it”. She has a warmth and genuine vibe that’s hard to come by. I’m on a journey and I know she’s with me." - Anonymous
