Client Impressions

Mackenzie T.

I found Dr. Whitley during a time that I really needed a safe and understanding space to reflect on and shift challenging areas in my life. I'd had experiences in the mental health system prior that had left me feeling unsupported and unable to speak freely. Dr. Whitley changed that and reminded me that there are conscious, holistic, caring, wise, and open-minded practitioners in the space that would let me be myself without making assumptions or instantly pathologizing me. Many thanks!

I'm so happy I found Dr. Whitley for my therapy needs. I've been in therapy for many years, and this has been one of the best experiences I've had. Moving from out of state meant I had the challenging task of finding a new therapist, but from our very first session, I felt at ease. I truly appreciate how much progress I've been able to make in just a few months with Dr. Whitley. She made me feel comfortable and heard right away, which made it really easy to open up. I'm so glad I found her and look forward to continuing my growth.

I have been searching for healing for a long time, and I am not sure that I could have meaningfully begun my journey without Crystal (Dr. Whitley). We have been working together for a little over six months, and in this span of time I feel that my capacity for self love has grown exponentially. This is truly remarkable to me, and I know already that this has changed my path in life for  the better.

I am a very sensitive person and I am hyper vigilant in my interactions with others - constantly scanning for perceived threat or rejection. This often prevents me from truly opening up to others, and even myself, as I am often fearful. Crystal quieted my fears almost immediately, I sensed through her actions that she is an open minded and empathetic person who is dedicated to helping others -- a healer. This is a very rare and special quality. She is one of those unique people who possesses both an incredible aptitude for her work and the pure hearted, strong motivation for the underlying ethos of the work that she does.

I am tremendously grateful that I found Dr. Whitley and I always look forward to our sessions. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is seeking healing and is looking for supportive expertise grounded in empathetic care. 🫂💓
