Whitney Walker, Licensed Clinical Social Worker

Hey there! If you've been told you're “too sensitive,” or feel like your emotions have the aux cord and refuse to give it back, then know you’re not alone and you're in the right place! Maybe you handle stress by rage-texting the group chat or expertly pretending problems don’t exist (1010 method, truly). If this sounds familiar, hi, you’re not alone. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) with me is real talk, practical skills, and a little humor. We’ll untangle the chaos together so you can feel more like yourself without pretending life isn’t messy sometimes. My clients have called me “affirming, playful, authentic, and a little playful.” Basically a hype person but with a game plan. I’m big on compassion and practicality, so you’ll get validation and actual skills. Think: acceptance plus change equals building a life you actually want to show up for. If you've done therapy before and finished it still missing a piece, then I'd be more than happy to help you find it. I believe that life can be joyful even after experiencing challenges. It's all about finding the balance between accepting (not approving) things we can't change, while skillfully doing something about the things that we can.
