Getting to know Courtney Wilder-Whiting
I work with individuals navigating ADHD, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, substance use, anxiety, depression, trauma, and other mental health conditions. Treatment integrates medication management with psychotherapy, recognizing that meaningful, sustained improvement often requires both. My background in family medicine, addiction, and pain management allows for a comprehensive approach that also considers how chronic medical conditions and pain can impact mental health.
Many individuals seeking care feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to begin. My approach is structured and practical, with a focus on restoring stability, reducing symptoms, and improving overall functioning. Care is tailored to each individual and may include medication management alongside supportive, skills-based interventions to strengthen emotional regulation, coping strategies, and day-to-day consistency.
I have over 9 years of experience in psychiatry and addiction medicine, and completed additional specialty training to become dual certified as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner at the University of Miami. I also have a background in orthopedics and pain management, which provides valuable perspective when caring for individuals whose physical and mental health concerns overlap.
I believe mental health care should be accessible, individualized, and focused on the whole person. I place strong emphasis on listening, understanding patterns over time, and helping individuals connect past experiences with present challenges in a way that supports meaningful and lasting change.
If you are feeling overwhelmed or unsure where to start, you are not alone. You do not need to have everything figured out to begin. Care is centered on meeting you where you are and helping you move forward in a way that feels realistic, manageable, and aligned with your goals.
What should a new client know about working with you?
You can expect a warm, attentive, and collaborative approach. I take time to understand what you are experiencing, how it affects your daily life, and what you hope to improve. Visits are conversational but focused, with clear explanations and shared decision-making throughout your care.
My approach combines thoughtful medication management with supportive, solution-focused, and cognitive behavioral strategies when appropriate. Together, we will identify practical goals, build on your strengths, and develop a treatment plan that feels realistic and personalized. I value open communication and want you to feel heard, respected, and comfortable asking questions.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Your first visit is a comprehensive evaluation focused on understanding your current concerns, symptoms, history, previous treatment experiences, medications, health factors, and day-to-day functioning. We will discuss your goals, clarify diagnoses, and review treatment options together. When medication is appropriate, I will explain the expected benefits, possible side effects, and alternatives so you can make an informed decision.
Follow-up visits focus on your progress, medication response, side effects, sleep, emotional wellness, and any changes in daily functioning. Supportive and solution-focused therapy may be incorporated to help you develop practical coping strategies and work toward meaningful goals. When more intensive or specialized psychotherapy would be beneficial, I will discuss recommendations and help coordinate the appropriate care.
