Not feeling heard, not knowing the next step or not being where you thought you'd be at this part of your life is hard. Like really hard. We're constantly told what we "should" have achieved. My clients bring to sessions struggles with setting boundaries, feeling heard by those in their lives, wrapping their mind around a major life change like the end of a relationship/figuring out what life looks like post-retirement or just highly anxious. They need a space where they can be truly heard, process what's holding them back and connect with what will make them feel fulfilled and connected to the version of themselves they want to be.

Cristin True Whiting
Psychologist, PsyD, RYT250
Winston Salem, NC 27106
Hello! My given name is Cristin but I go by True. My pronouns are she/her. My approach to psychotherapy comes from transpersonal psychology. It is influenced by Western and Buddhist psychology layered with the wisdom of yogic and shamanic practices from across Europe and the Americas. My goal is for you to have an experience of being respected, accepted, and listened to compassionately. A typical therapy session will feel like a very intentional conversation rooted in inquiry, the purpose of which is to support you to move past brain/mind, the terrain that you already know, into deeper insight, intuition and healing.

Therapy is all about growth for an individual. Growth can sometimes be a scary thing. Oftentimes, growth feels like staring into the darkness with the expectation of walking forward without falling. Whether you struggle with mental illness or you just need extra support in life, I can help you walk through the darkness of the unknown. The beautiful thing that therapy offers is this: you can create your own light. As we walk through the darkness, you will begin to see more and more light. Gradually, the path will become more clear and YOU can choose the next direction.

Fostering a supportive and trusting relationship is central to this work, and my goal is to make our working relationship feel human and authentic, rather than routine and robotic. I aim to provide culturally-sensitive care that is affirming of all identities, and clients can expect acceptance, warmth, and a safe environment when working with me.

The concerns I address include depression, anxiety, life transitions, grief and loss, marital, trauma recovery, identity, women's issues, family-of-origin dynamics.
Psychotherapy can provide an arena for assessment, communication, support, integration, and/or change. Both client and clinician participate in the therapeutic process. Consideration of your reasons for seeking treatment, your goals, and your evaluation of your change process will help focus the clinical work. Whether the presented concerns indicate crisis intervention, brief goal-directed counseling, or in-depth therapy, my intent is to offer safety, presence, support, perspective, and a relational context which I hope will help you navigate the change process.

My ideal clients are children, adolescents, adults, and families who are navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, behavioral challenges, grief, relationship difficulties, and emotional overwhelm. I am especially passionate about supporting individuals impacted by childhood trauma, family stress, attachment wounds, postpartum concerns, and difficulties with emotional regulation. Many clients come to therapy feeling exhausted from “holding it together,” struggling silently, or feeling misunderstood in their environments. Parents may seek support for children experiencing behavioral or emotional concerns.
