This isn't how your life was supposed to go.
On the outside, everything looks fine. All that effort you're putting into keeping up appearances is working for now, but you worry how long you can keep it up. Is the wear starting to show?
​
Or maybe you already had the breakdown. You're not getting out of bed, but you're also not sleeping. You're hiding from the world and you're hiding from yourself. If you don't get help soon, you feel like you are going to lose everything.
​
Either way, you know that things are anything but fine with you. You swing between angry and numb. You're absent, checked out, and feeling guilty about how all you want is to escape. Your memory has been terrible recently, too...
You've tried to be "good."
You've tried to do the "right thing."
You have a lifetime collection of gold stars,
but you're still miserable.
I'm Whit, and I can help.
I specialize in what's wrong with you. Really.
Let me clarify: there is nothing wrong with you. You, yourself, as a unique individual, really are okay. But, there's a lot of other stuff going on in there that feels anything but okay. That's what I specialize in.​
I get it. Taking deep breaths makes your panic increase. Meditation makes you want to crawl out of your skin. If you could have figured out what to do to calm down and just be normal, you would have.​
It's time to try something different:
-
Instead of pasting on a smile and trying to grind through another day, we're going find your genuine grins and real joy.
-
Instead blowups and breakdowns caused by bottled-up feelings, we are going to learn to be delighted, furious, devastated--and still be okay.
-
​Instead of feeling empty, numb, and hopeless, we will find our way to what lights you up and makes life worth living.
COORDINATED COUPLES COUNSELING
I work with Kaitlyn Lickteig at Klick Counseling to provide fair and effective treatment for couples.​ With our unique approach to couples' counseling, you each get individual therapy combined with joint therapy intensives where both partners and both therapists are present.
​
I'm not saying it will be easy,
but I am saying it will be worth it.
Peace. Stability. Self-acceptance. Contentment. The life you always wanted. It is all within your reach.
1. Reach out
The first step is to schedule a call with me.
​
Pick a time that works for you and where you will have 15-20 minutes to talk about what you are looking for in therapy.
2. Get answers
During your free consult, I will ask you questions about what brings you to therapy and what your goals are. I will answer any questions you have. If we both decide I'm a good fit for your needs, we will schedule your first appointment.
3. Heal
In your intake appointment, which lasts 90 minutes, I will ask a lot of questions. We'll identify your immediate needs and your long-term goals.
Then, we get to work.
