Professional statement

Dr. AnnMarie Whithed is a seasoned Psychologist with over 17 years of experience supporting clients in their journey towards mental wellness. She focuses on helping individuals discover their inner strength and resilience while navigating through various stressors impacting their mental well being. Her patients often seek her guidance to negotiate life transitions, manage relationship stress, and cope with grief from lost relationships, deceased loved ones, and traumatic events. She specializes in supporting individuals grappling with PTSD and C-PTSD, depression, and anxiety, conditions that can significantly impact one's professional and personal life. Her expertise extends to helping people understand and effectively respond to personality issues including narcissism, fostering healthier interactions and recovery. Dr. Whithed works diligently to foster a sense of hope and encouragement in each session.

Her therapeutic approach incorporates a blend of evidence-based modalities. She encourages patients to engage in introspection, exploring their core identity and how life experiences have shaped them. Dr. Whithed guides patients in identifying and aligning with their core values to lead a more fulfilling life. She employs a therapeutic approach rooted in Psychodynamic principles, recognizing that patterns developing in our earliest life experiences continue to influence our behavior and emotions. She also integrates tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which are particularly effective in addressing negative thought patterns. For those who wish to explore faith-related topics, she encourages open dialogue about spirituality and faith, recognizing the value of integrating mental health with spiritual reflection.

Holding a PsyD degree, Dr. Whithed operates as a strengths-based, insight-focused and trauma-informed therapist. She firmly believes in the unique resilience of each individual, aiming to empower her patients to harness their strengths to overcome their personal challenges.


Message to clients

Over my years in practice I have learned that it is not about how much I know, or what skills I may have, but how well I listen. I believe that simple skill - listening to genuinely understand - is the heart and soul of therapy. I want you to feel heard, and understood. And just as importantly, I want you to leave each session with hope - a renewed hope in your inner strength and ability to overcome whatever obstacles are leading you to seek assistance from me. My goal as your therapist is to help you achieve alignment with your goals, your values, and your vision for your life.
