Override Hero Title

I'm Anthony Wilhite (they/them), an LMHC trained at Columbia University, Teachers College, with dual master's degrees in Psychological Counseling and Mental Health Counseling. My approach is liberation-focused and relational — I specialize in supporting LGBTQ+, BIPOC, neurodivergent, and creative adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, identity, grief, and shame. I create a warm, culturally-affirming space where you can show up fully as yourself. I use EFT, Psychodynamic therapy, Trauma-Focused CBT, MBCT, and Solution Focused Brief Therapy — all adapted to what you and your specific journey actually need.

Choosing a therapist is a daunting task. Do you go down a rabbit hole googling various types of therapy and online profiles or do you go with your gut? That's up to you. I will tell you that extensive research asserts that success in therapy is not dependent upon the strategies or modalities the clinician employs, but on the strength of the therapeutic relationship. Is the therapeutic relationship a positive one? Do you feel heard and supported? Does this person understand me? Do we click?

I have been a psychotherapist over 34 years to individuals & couples. I address hurt, sadness, anger, anxiety & depression & the loss of emotional contact in your vital relationships. Painful loss can arise from traumatic shock, & from the non-traumatic experiences of growing up. I can help you identify your true needs, so that you can repair your connection with those you love. Healing is in the therapeutic relationship & the skills I can teach you that can enable you to live a freer life.

I work with high achieving, type A women. Together, you and I will create ways to stop being a people pleaser, have more time for yourself, find balance instead of burnout, feel joy, and create joy for yourself and those around you. Get rid of the guilt and the exhaustion from focusing on everyone but yourself. Learn what makes you happy! What makes you thrive! Learn holistic, self-care that makes you feel amazing.

I am a Master's level psychotherapist, with a second degree, a Master's in Social Work (LCSW). My areas of specialization include; trauma informed work through a family systems lens, including treating sexual abuse , and other forms of abuse and treating related PTSD.

I also have expertise in working with couples and addressing the impact of family history that each partner brings into the relationship which may be creating conflict.

When working with couples I am very mindful of the importance of balancing support so that both people feel that they are equally heard.

My other areas of focus include working with teens and addressing parent-child conflict. My training in family therapy includes Multi-systemic Therapy (MST ) and Functional Family Therapy (FFT). The former looks at the role of the family members and the community in supporting the youth and in eliminating negative behaviors. The latter, FFT looks at the roles of family members and the function of relationships in supporting change for the youth. I also have training in Trauma Systems Therapy which looks at the impact of trauma on the individual/child and the family to improve overall functioning.

My strengths include my warm, caring and non judgmental approach. I am an excellent listener , and am very genuine clinician. I believe that engaging my clients and building trust is essential to meaningful results. I understand that the decision to enter therapy in not an easy one. I consider myself a co-pilot on the journey. You are the expert on your life experience.

I am here to listen, interpret, guide and help you understand what might be getting in the way of feeling happier and help you resolve issues and lessen any burdens that you may have been carrying.

Dating, maintaining healthy relationships, and keeping it spicy in the bedroom can be challenging and feel overwhelming. Whether you are single or in a relationship, couple’s therapy can help.

My work with Couples focuses on issues of communication, intimacy, infidelity, trust and sexual difficulties. If you are single, and are looking to work through past or prospective relationships, we can work on helping identify the factors getting in the way of finding, or maintaining healthy relationships.

Experiencing a lack of sexual fulfillment during any stage your life can feel isolating, challenging and overwhelming. Whether you are single, dating, in an open relationship, or in a committed relationship. When “sex isn’t working”, it feels uncomfortable and frustrating, and can make you feel like there is something wrong with you.

We can work together in Sex Therapy, as an Individual or as a Couple to help you achieve the positive sex goals you want and deserve. I'm an English/Spanish speaking Psychotherapist. I specialize in Individuals, Couples and Sex Therapy. I would like to help you feel better and have success in all areas of your life. Give me a call for a free consultation.

It's difficult making the first phone call, booking an appointment and admitting you need help. Whether it's depression, anxiety, a mood disorder or trauma, it's frightening to admit that everything isn't how you want it to be and you don't have all the answers. If you're experiencing sadness, anxiety, mood swings, intrusive thoughts or images, flash backs, numbness or insomnia, there is hope and there is help. I'm going to teach you skills to manage you symptoms, emotions and relationships more effectively.
