Great to meet you!

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I believe that mental health is as crucial to maintain as our physical health. I have been practicing in New York City for the past 10 years, and my focus is on women ages 25-45 struggling with anxiety and depression.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I am a psychodynamic therapist which means I work with my clients in order to enhance their self-awareness and foster an understanding of how their thoughts, feelings and beliefs have been shaped. With greater self-awareness, my clients can work to change thoughts and behaviors that no longer serve them, and decrease their symptoms through the process.

What you can expect from our first session

My clients gain insight, self-awareness, and self-confidence and report a decrease in the symptoms that brought them to therapy in the first place.

Whitney's style is

Affirming
Empowering
Open-minded
