Whitney Peters

Whitney is great and I've had the best experience working with her. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

I chose (my therapist). specifically because her bio listed being “trauma-informed” and I have a history of trauma that other providers have told me could very well be connected to the OCD so I was hoping a therapist who was specialized in both OCD and trauma would be most helpful. However, I often felt invalidated, talked over, and dismissed in regards to the trauma aspects of my history. Upon reflection, I think the core issue was probably a lack of psycho education on what ERP actually is and how structured it is because I have engaged in a lot of other types of therapy previously and am just more comfortable with a collaborative and trauma-informed approach rather than the therapist being completely in charge. This led to exposures and exercises that did not target any specific obsessions or compulsions I struggle with, instead of the debilitating ones that brought me to NOCD and that I was paying to receive help to eliminate. Ultimately I chose to discontinue services and seek therapy elsewhere because I saw it as a waste of money to pay for exposures geared toward compulsions I didn’t have.

Whitney Peters goes above and beyond. She’s an excellent communicator and is an attentive listener. I’ve made good progress with therapy and highly recommend her.
