I believe that each client has unique concerns and issues that should be focused upon one at a time. However, some conditions have to be treated concurrently, such as times when comorbid (underlying and preexisting) conditions exist, for example: PTSD and anxiety and depression, or substance abuse and other mental health disorders. During this time of pandemic, social unrest, and beyond; my role is to help you explore your concerns/issues and build new realities based upon your strengths. I view counseling as a collaborative process whereby the achievement of mutually defined counseling goals is accomplished through commitment and patience. Counseling can help you gain personal insight and lead you to a better understanding of yourself and others. I use a variety of theoretical approaches individualized for you and your life situation. Diagnostic and testing information will be used to help guide my work with you. Your active involvement in and out of our sessions together is essential to gain maximum benefit from your counseling sessions. I may ask you to do homework assignments, exercises or journals. Periodically, we will evaluate our progress and, if necessary, redesign our treatment plan. Remember we are in this together. My commitment is to walk alongside you. As with any intervention, there are both benefits and risks associated with counseling that may include experiencing uncomfortable levels of feelings like sadness, guilt, anger or frustration. Often progress is a gradual process. The goal is to achieve the best and most promising outcome for you. I graduated from Regent University College of Arts and Science earning a Bachelor of Science (BS) of Psychology Cum Laude, and lifetime membership in Psi Chi a Psychological Honor Society. Upon acceptance at Regent University School of Psychology & Counseling Clinical Mental Health Counseling Program (CACREP). I earned a Master of Art (MA) in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a Certificate of Graduate Studies (CGS) in Trauma.. I am a member of Chi Sigma Iota Alpha Omega Lambda, Counseling Academic and Professional Honor Society International. I hold board certification credentials through the National Board of Certified Counselors as a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC) and Certified Clinical Mental Health Counselor (CCMHC). I have completed the CADC-II credential. I am pursuing (3rd year) a PhD in Clinical Psychology to better serve clients with psychological testing. Additionally, I am pursuing the MAT (medication-assisted treatment/medically assisted therapy), and Clinical Supervisor credentials CPCS & ACS (Certified Professional Counselor Supervisor & Approved Clinical Supervisor Courses Complete; Licensures in progress, applications in progress). Area of competence consist of assessment, diagnosis and treatment of mental and emotional disorders and trauma; utilizing treatment approaches such as Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness and Acceptance-Based Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Person Centered, Reality and related Choice therapies, Motivational Interviewing techniques, mental health services consultation and training; and individual and group counseling. Most recently, I have had the awesome privilege of working as Lead Clinician at a residential facility walking alongside women, women with children, and men experiencing homelessness. We utilize a transformational model of change centered in both Person-Centered and Cognitive Behavioral Therapeutic approaches. Realizing that one approach is not appropriate for all we integrate other modalities in treatment with amazing outcomes. I must say that it has been a world-class experience, and one of the most challenging yet rewarding times of my vocation thus far.

Confidence + Clarity + Comunication = THRIVING (Creating Your Life Avatar) What is keeping you from “your” success? Are you disappointed with the results of some life choices, debilitated by emotional pain, under or over-challenged at work, lacking motivation, unable to forgive yourself or others, indecisive, financially insecure……..fear not, there is a way out of personal bondage and into personal freedom. My name is Whitley Greene, Licensed Professional Counselor for twenty-five years and Board Certified Coach for five years, serving individuals and families in private practice, behavior health hospitals, churches, schools, and organizations toward goal achievement and healthy living. I have earned a Specialist (Ed.S.), and four Master (MS) degrees in the fields of Counseling and Education Leadership. I am certified in "Psychology of the Web & Internet Addictions" and "Applied Positive Psychology: Finding Mastery and Flourishing" How can I help YOU? My philosophy regarding personal success is to guide you toward clarifying your wants, needs and desires leading to PURPOSE. When you identify what is important, strengthen your confidence, and communicate assertively you will thrive while creating your Life Avatar (who you want to be in the world). My personality and style as a counselor/coach are to be a compassionate listener, intuitive and thought-provoking questioner, and inspirational goal-setter, with clients experiencing enjoyable intrinsic and extrinsic rewards for their hard work. Counseling is only as successful as you determine it will be. The process of growing from emotional pain, navigating obstacles on the path to success, enriching relationships, altering habits, or welcoming forgiveness into your life, all takes energy, time, and effort. As we journey down the path of success together, we will add a little humor, perhaps a few tears, and celebrate achievements along the way. As an accomplished athlete, world traveler, lifelong learner, enthusiastic community volunteer, sensible financial investor, and non-denominational Christian, I would be delighted to partner with you to enhance the joy and success in your life. Once I have the opportunity to know your unique personality, how you wish to be encouraged with your goals, and genuine motivation, we can get to work on clearing the way for your elevated joy and happiness. I prefer to use video or telephone for our sessions and e-mail/text for communication between sessions. Preferred Therapeutic Modalities: Cognitive Behavior Therapy Mindfulness Therapy Narrative Therapy Solution-Focused Therapy Jungian Therapy
