Will Whitlock

I am a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner, licensed in New York State, with over 14 years of experience in both outpatient and inpatient settings. I completed my undergraduate and graduate training at Columbia University. As a passionate evidence-based clinician, my research has been published in esteemed journals such as the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) and Cancer.

I’m passionate about creating safe, nonjudgmental spaces for clients to express and embrace their individual identities. My practice is deeply informed by a humanistic approach, recognizing each client’s unique experiences and value systems. As a proud gay man, I welcome the LGBT population and also have a keen interest in aging, men’s health, sleep disorders, ADHD, anxiety, and depression. My primary goal is to help clients achieve a foundational sense of internal peace amidst life’s chaos.

I’ll come to the session having reviewed all your initial intake materials so we can get right to work. I’ll use every minute of session one to get to know you on a deeper level and establish your initial goals for treatment.

While my practice is centered in medication management, I supplement treatment with elements of cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, Motivational Interviewing and psychodynamic therapy tailored to the specific needs of my clients.
