Getting to know Whitney Kohn
Hello and welcome! My name is Whitney Kohn, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, working towards earning my LCPC. I understand that beginning therapy can be awkward and even intimidating so cheers to taking the first step and doing the research to find your person!
My journey into counseling began with a passion for connection, empowerment, and authentic relationships. When you are faced with obstacles it is easy to get stuck in a place of fear and I believe by connecting with your authentic self and building a network of support you can create the outcomes that best serve you.
I specialize in Cognitive and Humanistic theories of Counseling. I have had the privilege of working with individuals and families facing various issues such as anxiety, suicidal ideation, emotional regulation, relationship conflicts, grief and trauma. I resonate with a client centered approach to therapy, free from judgment & built on trust. I strive to create a warm and welcoming space where you will feel safe to explore your thoughts and emotions while navigating said challenges.
Honesty before progress—I will meet you where you are and I will always give honest feedback. You do not have to face life’s challenges on your own. By working together I hope to help you find resilience and serenity.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Collaborative Approach: Our work together is a partnership. I believe in tailoring strategies that fit your unique needs and goals.
Safe Space: I prioritize creating a supportive and non-judgmental environment where you can express yourself freely.
Empowerment: My goal is to empower you to develop resilience and coping skills that you can apply in your daily life.
Confidentiality: Everything we discuss is confidential, fostering trust and openness in our sessions.
Flexibility: I understand that life can be unpredictable, so I’m flexible in our scheduling and can adapt our approach as needed.
Holistic Perspective: I consider all aspects of your life, including emotional, social, and family dynamics, to provide comprehensive support.
Open Communication: I encourage feedback throughout our time together, so we can ensure that our sessions are as effective as possible for you.
I’m looking forward to supporting you on your journey!
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Initial Consultation: We’ll start with an introductory session to discuss your concerns, goals, and what you hope to achieve. This helps establish a foundation for our work together.
Assessment: I’ll gather information about your background, experiences, and current challenges. This allows me to understand your unique situation.
Goal Setting: Together, we’ll set specific, achievable goals that guide our sessions and provide direction for your progress.
Customized Strategies: I’ll develop personalized strategies and interventions tailored to your needs, focusing on empowering you to overcome challenges.
Regular Sessions: We’ll meet regularly to review your progress, adjust strategies as needed, and continue building on the skills you’re developing.
Feedback and Adjustment: I encourage open communication and will regularly seek your feedback to ensure our approach is effective and aligned with your goals.
Closure: When you feel ready to conclude our work together, we’ll have a session to reflect on your progress and discuss how to maintain your growth moving forward.
