Getting to know Lamar Whaley

Hi, my name is Lamar Whaley. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Pacific Oaks College. As a therapist, my goal is to assist and empower clients to address the factors and stressors (e.g., personal, familial/social, spiritual, academic, etc.) that you experience, as well as introduce and help you apply different interventions that will empower you to manage your emotions and reduce the behaviors or symptoms that interfere with your daily life functioning. I specialize in treating clients who struggle with depression and anxiety. My approach I have been trained in using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Manage and Adaptive Practices (MAP). I am currently completing my training in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). Additionally, I have experience in case management by linking clients with available resources and referrals that can assist them in managing their circumstances. My focus I have provided therapeutic services for clients of all ages and from diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds. I am open to meeting clients who seek therapy services. If a client presents a situation in which I do not have much expertise or experience, I will refer them to another therapist or provider who can better meet their needs. My communication style I strive to create a safe and non-judgmental environment to assure clients that I am not here to judge them for their past history or current situations. Rather, I am here to help them address their personal, emotional, and mental struggles. My journey to mental healthcare During my undergraduate studies, I displayed symptoms related to Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder. By seeking therapy services for myself, I learned firsthand how effective and helpful therapy can be, which inspired me to help others in their healing journeys.
