Words about Whitney

Whitney C. Hobson, PsyD is a licensed Clinical Psychologist, Writer, Poet, and Speaker. She received her PsyD in Clinical Psychology from the American School of Professional Psychology and has worked in community mental health, private practice, and university/college counseling settings. She uses an integrative approach to therapy and conceptualization primarily derived from relational-cultural theory, as well as multicultural and holistic cognitive-behavioral approaches.

Whitney’s clinical interest and experience include anxiety and perfectionism, grief and loss and its broader application to adjustment and life transitions, racial, cultural, and gender identity development, self-empowerment, interpersonal relationship effectiveness, and the impact of generational, systemic, and cultural oppression. Whitney is committed to promoting wellness and connection within and between all communities but is especially passionate about centering the needs and strengths of populations that have often been pushed to the margins.
