About Bluebird Holistic Health
At Bluebird Holistic Health, I am dedicated to providing integrative, whole-person mental health care that emphasizes the mind-body connection. By focusing on mindfulness, self-awareness, and creative expression, I help individuals navigate life's challenges and move toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.
Bluebird Holistic Health provides virtual counseling services with the option of in-person sessions if required. I offer personalized and private experiences, with a sliding scale for out-of-network clients. I currently accept Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Carelon, Cigna, and Quest insurance providers.
If you seek a supportive space to explore your thoughts and emotions, reconnect with your inner strengths, and develop practical tools for growth, I invite you to reach out. Healing is a journey, and you don't have to take it alone.
About Me
Hi there, I'm Dr. Whitley. I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who specializes in anxiety treatment, depression, PTSD, relationship counseling, expressive arts therapy, trauma recovery, and child and adolescent therapy. I hold a PhD in Mind Body Medicine: Integrative Mental Health and am National Board Certified. With more than 20 years of experience working in education, I've seen how children need more specialized counseling services than what the schools can provide. While I have lots of experience working with children, I also teach graduate students at the university level and have been working with adult clients for several years. Additionally, I have a CAGS in Administration & Supervision, a MSEd in Counseling, and a BA in English Literature.
I am committed to offering compassionate, evidence-based care rooted in mindfulness practices to cultivate self-compassion, emotional resilience, and deeper connections with oneself and others. I am here to help you climb the mountain of life. Specializing in complementary alternative medicine, I believe the mind, body, and spirit are interconnected and must be in balance for optimal life functioning.
Our relationship counseling services aim to foster healthy and fulfilling connections between individuals. We provide a safe and supportive space for couples and individuals to explore relational dynamics, improve communication, and strengthen emotional bonds.
Walk and Talk therapy is a form of psychotherapy that takes place outdoors, combining traditional talk therapy with movement. Instead of sitting in an office, the therapist and client walk side by side in a natural setting such as a park or trail. This approach can make therapy feel more relaxed and less intimidating, encouraging open conversation and deeper reflection.
Our trauma sensitive approach offers a holistic path to healing from past traumatic experiences. We provide specialized support to help individuals process and integrate their trauma, fostering resilience and empowering them to reclaim their sense of safety and well-being.
Our adolescent therapy services are tailored to address the unique emotional and psychological needs of young individuals. We offer a safe and understanding environment for children and adolescents to explore their feelings, develop coping skills, and navigate the complexities of adolescence. Utilizing expressive arts therapy and creative play to facilitate emotional healing and self-discovery, we promote self-expression, resilience, and personal growth.
