My name is Whitney Saunders and my professional background is social work and outpatient therapy. I have a Master's degree in social work as well as my Independent Social Work License. I have worked with children and families in some capacity since 2015. Since receiving my Master's degree in 2019, I have continued to serve children and families in outpatient therapy settings. I have worked with clients from the ages of five to 50 who have experienced or are experiencing PTSD, depression, and anxiety. In many of these cases, clients are seeking assistance with crisis stabilization or minimization of other mental health symptoms. 

Through the use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and brief solution-focused therapy, I have been able to assist many clients in achieving their goals of crisis stabilization, harm reduction, and overall minimization of mental health symptoms. 

The relationship you have with your therapist is what makes therapy successful. With that, I place emphasis on the rapport-building phase of treatment. The most important thing to remember is you are in control of your therapeutic process—I am here to SUPPORT and GUIDE.
