Whiney is helping navigate the difficulties in my life right now. She points out my steps taken and offers advice to expand my progress. I appreciate her upbeat voice and attitude without treating me like a child.
I would definitely recommend her

My therapist has helped me in so many ways and I want to thank her for her time and patience. She is more than I expected and I am forever grateful.

Written on Sep 26, 2023 after therapy with Whitney for 1 year and 2 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, self esteem, bipolar disorder, and adhd

She has helped me become a more self-assured and self-confident person, she helps me learn how to process my feelings and emotions, as well as understand the deeper down sources of my own actions. She is very good about breaking down situations into easier to understand pieces, then putting pieces back together to help me reframe my view of people, struggles, arguments, etc.

Written on Aug 24, 2023 after therapy with Whitney for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, parenting issues, and self esteem

She is really helping me to better myself and I'm very pleased that I was matched with her.

Written on Jun 08, 2023 after therapy with Whitney for 1 year and 2 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, eating disorders, sleeping disorders, self esteem, and compassion fatigue

Whitney is wonderful! I walk away from every session feeling like a weight has been lifted off me. Not only does she listen and give practical feedback in the moment, she also gives you strategies and “assignments” to incorporate into daily life.

She has helped me deal with anxiety, depression, ADHD, marital battles, parenting struggles, and more.

I would recommend her services to anyone searching for similar help.

I could write a book on the ways that Whitney has helped me. She has helped me immensely in my journey. I honestly do not know where I would be without her.

Written on Nov 14, 2022 after therapy with Whitney for 8 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, and coping with life changes

I truly believe i got lucky with matching with Whitney Jenerette the first time. She is my first adult therapist and i love how easy it is to talk to her. It’s almost like a close friend or family member. She has used examples in her life(with discretion) that relate sometimes to what i may be going through or feeling and i love that because there are times when i feel like I’m the “only” one, it’s reassuring to know I’m not and that the emotions that come with those are normal. It was also important to me to have a POC as my therapist to relate to on certain aspects and it helped to let that guard down around therapy when you have someone can relate to culturally as well
