Willie has assisted me during one of the most stressful and depressive parts of my life. In the many weeks we have spoken, I feel he is proactive and in touch with me, and he even reaches out to me, which is impressive.

I am getting better, and this is wonderful.

Willie is amazing. Insightful, caring, and presented thought-provoking perspectives. He gave my partner and I a plethora of material to work on our relationship outside of the therapy sessions. Highly recommend Mr. Whited and so thankful for his help in mending our relationship.

I find Wille to be sensitive and extremely knowledgeable about the science behind therapy. Importantly, he helps me understand my feelings and how to deal with them in appropriate ways rather than imposing some external agenda on how my brain works and in turn how I view the world.

Willie is a blessing. I’ve had some egregious interactions with therapists in my past, and this has made up for all of it. Willie shows how much he cares by going the extra mile to reach out and check in on my well being during off days, sending study and self growth materials, as well as accommodating for my random schedule and desired times to speak. I’m grateful for the growth I’m seeing and I’m thankful for Willie being there to assist in my journey of healing.

Written on Feb 07, 2023 after therapy with Willie for 2 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, self esteem, career difficulties, coping with life changes, and coaching

Mr.Whited is awesome! His approach made me think in ways that I couldn’t on my own. He is a great listener and communicator. Mr.Whited is extremely passionate and knowledgeable. He has exercises that helps him get to the root of your problems and dives in head first to solve your issues. If I could recommend him to every person going through stress, depression, anxiety, and self doubt I would. The way he speaks to you is calm and warming which helps you open up to all the opportunities to helping your situation. Not only do I think he’s a great therapist but a great person as well!

The last two years have taken its toll on healthcare workers, especially nurses. My combined professional challenges, history of trauma, personal challenges, and social isolation led me to a dark place.
