I am a licensed marriage and family therapist. Based on my experiences and training, I take a developmental approach to helping clients build strategies and skills to manage challenges. I believe our early experiences shape the way we handle distress, problem-solve, and develop relationships. My training in attachment, infant and early childhood mental health, as well as play therapy, have not only served me well in my work with young children but also with clients of all ages since I tend to view current challenges through a developmental lens.

I think of a therapist as a wise guide who enters into the life of another human at a time of crisis and provides a compassionate, safe environment in which a person can experience himself more fully - explore, identify, and take initiatives to lessen the causes of her distress. The ideal therapist is one who, above all else, is an advocate for the freedom and well-being of another. The therapist, like spiritual guides of old, offers a balance of acceptance and challenge in helping the person become her best self. By challenge, I mean holding an individual accountable to himself and his potential for purposeful, dynamic living.

Hello, I am Whitney Jefferson, LICSW. I like to keep my clients the focus of each season by identifying their needs and aligning them with their goals. I typically use solution-focused and cognitive behavior types of therapy. I am comfortable talking through difficult life decisions, anxiety, and depression. I create a warm and inviting environment for clients to be themselves and talk about their heart's desires. Each client should expect to walk away feeling refreshed and excited about future sessions. I first identify the clients needs, then I collaborate with the client on a plan to reach each achievable goals.

Being an autistic adult in a world that isn’t always built for you can be overwhelming. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, relationships, sensory overload, or the challenges of masking, you deserve support that understands you - without judgment or pressure to change who you are.
