About me

Hello! My name is Whitney I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor- Supervisor. I am licensed in the state of Ohio, currently living in the Cleveland area. I obtained my Master’s of Education in Mental Health Counseling from Cleveland State University and my Bachelor's of Arts and Science from Kent State University in Psychology and Criminal Justice both located in Ohio.

I have been in the helping profession for over 8 years, working with children, adolescents, and adults alike. My experience comes from various schools of thoughts, through a multicultural lens, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), solution focused treatment, Motivational interviewing, and strengths-based approach, exploring problems in the here and now, while understanding the client's needs. I have extensive experience working within crisis intervention, trauma focused treatment, anxiety, depression, mindfulness, substance abuse, Couple/family counseling, and parenting strategies.

Within my experience, much of my work does primarily aim to understand the underlying concerns that are causing stressful situations and maladaptive behaviors. Through active listening, empathy, and from a non-judgmental standpoint, my hope is that we can work together to help create trust within the therapeutic relationship. Creating both short and long term goals can help us build a map of where we have been and where we can be within our life. Recognizing triggers and creating positive coping skills can be one of the many tools that can assist us within our healing journey.

My goal is to help each person make big changes doing small things. Sometimes it just takes one person to listen to help make that change, other times it’s just saying what you are thinking and feeling out loud that makes the difference. Whatever it is, my wish is to be able to help guide you through your own path of self-discovery and self-love.

Whitney is amazingly compassionate, empathetic and supportive. She also holds me accountable. When I started seeing Whitney, my goal was to live an honest, authentic life and although it has been a lot of work, she helped me surpass my own expectations in less than one year. A process that I expected to take at least two years.

Whitney is very helpful and shows her concern that she wants to help.
