Congratulations on taking this first step in reaching out for help! I have 10 years of clinical experience working in the mental health field. I am excited about helping executives and professionals navigate stressful life transitions, address interpersonal conflict, and cope with professional burnout. I empower my clients to seek meaning and fulfillment. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing interventions to help my clients explore their next steps and make positive changes in their lives. I provide my clients with empathy, validation, and unconditional positive regard.

Everyone should have someone in their life they can call an ally. Someone who listens empathetically and compassionately, fully without judgement. If that is what you are looking for in a therapist and you are ready to see changes within your life, please look no further! I specialize in treating individuals from children, teens to adults utilizing a variety of evidence-based treatment modalities. Together, we will work as a team to develop and accomplish your therapeutic goals and work towards living the life you have always envisioned for yourself.

I am passionate about holding space for individuals who want to do the work to move from surviving to thriving in a life they feel good about living. My clients are better able to explore emotions, heal unresolved trauma, learn how to express their reality, communicate more effectively, set healthy boundaries, share their needs and wants as well as live in balance and spontaneity.

Hello! My name is Whitney Wiley and I am passionate about helping people! As a board certified Licensed Professional Counselor that has worked in the mental health field for 7 years, I incorporate strong therapeutic skills that allow me to enhance the connections with my clients and allow them to feel comfortable during sessions. I strive to create an atmosphere of trust while providing quality and compassionate mental health services that will strengthen my clients’ overall well-being.

Is your goal to challenge old patterns, build insight and flourish into your most authentic self? I believe most of us desire a life that reflects who we truly are but experiences from the past and present can make reaching our full-potential seem difficult. Through therapy, we can shift how we perceive our lives and ourselves by taking a deeper look into our internal world in a meaningful way. My goal as a therapist is to facilitate deep healing through compassion, care and attunement. I will support and challenge you while you take steps toward living the life you want.

As a graduate of the OSU Marriage and Family Therapy program, I am ready to work with individuals, couples, and families navigating a wide variety of challenges (trauma, addictions, anxiety, depression, etc.). I enjoy working with individuals - particularly teens and young adults - and couples. As a first-generation immigrant, I am committed to helping people of different nationalities, cultural and racial backgrounds.

Sometimes we find ourselves in challenging life situations that require us to seek out someone to partner with us in our pursuit of growth and healing. My approach is designed to help individuals and couples alter their behaviors and experiences through scientifically proven methods grounded in the power of relationship and the brain's ability to restructure itself. In therapy, I will walk alongside you to discuss goals, possible treatment outcomes, and a treatment plan to help you meet your goals.

Finding the right therapist can be an overwhelming process, especially when you are not feeling your best. If you find yourself worrying consistently, thoughts jumping from one subject or task to another, not enjoying the life and/or relationships you used to love, or you want to develop healthier parenting and partner skills, starting therapy is a wise and kind choice. In our practice, we approach the process of therapy with curiosity, a collaborative and nonjudgmental mindset, and determination to support each client on their journey to a more empowered life. I believe, we have what it takes to get through this challenge together!

I bring 33 years of counseling experience to my practice and offer empathy, wisdom, emotional and cognitive skills. My clients are people who want help with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma from past or present, parenting, life changes, chronic illness, aging, spiritual unrest, marriage, and loss of a child. I have a heart for people who are suffering and I commit everyday to helping my clients find peace by increasing new awareness and insightful perspectives.

I work collaboratively with individuals with OCD, anxiety, phobias, tic, and BFRBs. I provide ethical and evidence-based services by immersing myself in continuing education and training led by up-to-date research in order to provide focused care for individuals with issues in these specific areas. It takes a great deal of bravery to walk into a therapist's office -and- research says working with a therapist is essential in successfully addressing these diagnoses. My role is to honor that bravery with care, acceptance, and options toward the changes you want to see.

​I consider it a great honor when someone invites me to help with their struggles. My passion is to help people heal who have been devastated by trauma, addiction, and stressful life events. I work with all kinds of trauma such as childhood abuse/neglect, unexpected life events, a health crisis, and betrayal trauma caused by deception related to infidelity, porn, emotional affairs, and addiction. I use unique blends of EMDR therapy, Somatic Experiencing, and the Multidimensional Partner Trauma Model in healing betrayal trauma. My therapeutic style utilizes a blend of attachment & polyvagal theory, and interpersonal neurobiology.

I treat individuals in order to treat families with the understanding that the whole of the family system is greater than the sum of its' parts. Thirty five years in the business has taught me that anything and everything that affects an individual also affects the family system as a whole and vice versa.

Starting therapy is one of the kindest things you can do for yourself. One of my greatest honors in life is being able to meet clients in the depths of their pain and to support them as they find healing. My clients are some of the bravest people I’ve ever met, and it’s been especially powerful to see them embrace love, forgiveness, and to be freed from shame. My heart is to work with those struggling with grief, anxiety, depression, and so much more. My approach is tailored to the needs of the client and I provide Faith-Based and Non Faith-Based therapy.

I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology and a Master of Counseling Psychology degree, both from Northwestern Oklahoma State University.

Hi, I believe that truth transforms a person’s mind and ultimately their life, so I utilize therapies to help a person live a full and healthy life. Often clients struggle with pain and unhealed trauma. I have experience and training in trauma-informed therapies to help clients heal from their trauma and pain. I believe that healing and change happen as clients come to know that they are loved and accepted. Through using various treatments and clients feeling unconditional acceptance, I help clients heal and become more whole. I provide Christ-Centered therapy for those who want that to be apart of their therapy.

Isn’t it beautiful waking up every morning with the biggest smile on your face, feeling complete, as if you own the world? Sadly, that is not the reality for many of us. There are times in our lives when we just feel stuck. Experiences of loneliness, pain, and anxiety can cause us to feel like we can’t breathe, draining us, and having an overall negative impact on our health. These experiences may be due to consequences of our choices, our past, or may just be unresolved issues that are beyond our control. It takes tremendous strength and courage to seek help and I truly commend you for taking that first step.

As a counselor, my passion for helping others is rooted in personal experiences, inspiring a commitment to guiding others through life's challenging seasons. Specializing in trauma, substance abuse, relationships, and self-esteem, I offer a collaborative and tailored approach to address specific needs and goals. In a safe, warm, and trusting space, I welcome each part of you, meeting you in vulnerability on your journey back home to yourself.
