Achieving a life free from mental wounds, results in molding the mind to becoming your greatest ally, rather than suffering from its tyrannical wrath. This is the ONLY path to a life of bliss.

Whether you’ve faced overwhelming life events or been impacted by repetitive, ongoing emotional struggles, trauma can live in the body and subconscious mind—shaping patterns of anxiety, disconnection, or emotional numbness that can be hard to understand. If you experience anxiety, depression, relational challenges, PTSD, or feel stuck in repetitive behaviors or thought spirals, these may be signs of unresolved trauma. Healing begins by bringing gentle awareness to these inner wounds and working with them in a safe, compassionate way.

Every person has their own reasons for seeking therapy. Some choose it during a period of major life transitions or hardships, while others may seek out therapy in order to deepen their understanding of themselves. By using a psychodynamic and object relations model I am able to consider the whole person rather than pure symptom reduction. I believe there is both conscious and unconscious meaning to symptoms.

Whyell Family Therapy
Marriage & Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Oakhurst, CA 93644
Not accepting new clients
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) specializing in trauma with a subspecialty in sexual abuse, working with victims and sexually-abusive youth.
Becoming a therapist was my first choice, a passion I discovered during my sophomore year as an undergrad. Of course, it was not my first major, as I thought I would attend medical school. However, due to a car accident, I had to take a break from classes with laboratory courses, which led me to psychology. The best methods to pique anyone's interest are, in my opinion, abnormal psychology and personality psychology; they started my passion for learning more. After earning my Bachelor's degree in Psychology, I applied for my Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy with a specialty in Latino Family Studies.

What does therapy for teenagers look like?
When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.
How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?
There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.
How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.
How do you prepare teens for therapy?
You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
