Addiction therapists & psychiatrists in Daytona Beach, FL

My name is Whitney and I graduated with my Master's Degree in Clinical Psychology from UCF. I work with mood disorders, addiction and trauma in all forms to help you come back into safety and connection.

With over 20 years of experience in the mental health field, I've had the privilege of working across a wide range of treatment settings, including acute care, non-acute care, residential treatment, and outpatient therapy. I work with adolescents and adults and have experience providing individual and couples therapy.

My primary areas of focus include relationship counseling using the Gottman Method, chronic pain and chronic illness through Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT), addiction treatment informed by the work of Dr. Carl Hart, and Borderline Personality Disorder using Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).

In addition to these specialty areas, I frequently help clients navigate anxiety, panic attacks, depression, life transitions, adjustment disorders, parenting challenges, workplace stress, and the everyday demands that can leave us all feeling overwhelmed!

I am a dual certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) and Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-C) offering comprehensive psychiatric evaluations and follow-up visits remotely via telemedicine throughout the state of Florida. I provide medication management and brief psychotherapy to adolescents, adults specializing in anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, Bipolar Disorder and Couples Therapy

Welcome! Taking the first step toward seeking support can be one of the hardest — and most meaningful — parts of the journey. I’ve had the privilege of working with individuals from all walks of life and have found that our greatest challenges often open the door to growth and change. My background is in mental health counseling, with experience supporting clients through substance use concerns, relationship and marital issues, adolescent behavioral challenges, and mood disorders.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor passionate about helping clients move past what's holding them back from being their best selves. I am a proud alumnus of North Carolina Central University (B.A.) and Nova Southeastern University (M.S., Mental Health Counseling). I welcome clients from all walks of life and every stage of the journey, whether you're new to therapy or returning. Together, we identify what isn't working, build on what is, and create a path toward real, lasting change. My goal is that you leave feeling heard, understood, and equipped to move forward.
