Whitney Cisneros

My communication style

I create a supportive and non-judgmental space where you can be open. I practice compassionate listening, where I am listening to truly hear you. In this space, I will give you opportunities to express your experiences non-judgmentally and possibly for the first time. You can expect me to be calm and attentive to what has been your experience.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey into therapy began with a deep desire to help others overcome various challenges that life offers. During my experience in graduate school, I saw the need for a more systematic approach. Helping others identify the strengths they already had and building a community when they didn't initially have one.

My goals for you

Therapy is a partnership. Together, we'll identify and set goals that matter to you. As we work together, one of my roles is to highlight connections to help you gain new insights. With open communication, we will continue to adjust the therapy goals.

Our first session

In our first session, we will have the opportunity to get to know one another. We'll discuss what brings you to therapy, and we'll continue to build our work together over time. We will work to identify what you desire out of life and work to understand what steps you need to take.

I identify as...

• Female
• Black or African American
