Kirby Whitehead

I specialize in anxiety, depression, grief, chronic illness, relationship difficulties, addiction, self-esteem, shame, and wrestling with faith/beliefs.

My goal is to facilitate your growth by providing a safe space for you to wrestle with life’s challenges and difficulties.

I am passionate about walking with you as you grapple with your identity, shame, weaknesses, strengths, beauty, and relationships. I want to help you name and grow in consciousness of your dignity, fears, desires, and ways you relate- both wonderful and unhelpful. I believe we are healthiest when we hold the wonder and frailty of ourselves in tension as we learn to risk well, grieve well, protest well, and delight well.

I strive to meet you where you are with kindness and to hear and see you. I have come to my understanding of mental health as I wrestled with my faith in God, chronic illness, anxiety, and depression. I have walked through dark seasons of disorientation, shame, doubt, and illness, as well as lighter seasons of grace and blessings.
