Often rebooked
The woman who has it all together on the outside is often the one carrying the most on the inside. If you're high-achieving, dependable, and exhausted — not from laziness but from carrying too much for too long — this is the space you've been looking for. I'm Whitley Frazier, LCSW, and I specialize in trauma-informed therapy for women and teens navigating trauma, anxiety, emotional overwhelm, and major life transitions. My work is direct, warm, and grounded in approaches that actually produce change. EMDR is at the core of what I do. Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR works at a neurological level — helping your brain reprocess stored trauma so it no longer controls how you feel, react, and relate. The result isn't just feeling better temporarily. It's actually being different on the other side. You don't have to keep white-knuckling through life. Healing is possible — and you're worth it.
Our first session is not about having all the answers or knowing exactly what to say. It's simply about showing up — and I'll take it from there. In our first session together we'll take time to get to know each other. I'll ask questions about your history, what's bringing you to therapy right now, and what you're hoping life looks and feels like on the other side of this work. You'll have space to share as much or as little as you're comfortable with — there's no pressure to dive into everything at once. By the end of our first session you'll have a clearer sense of how we'll work together, what the focus of our work will be, and what you can expect moving forward. More importantly you'll know whether this feels like the right fit — and I believe it will. My goal for our first session is simple — that you leave feeling heard, seen, and hopeful. Not overwhelmed. Not judged. Just supported. Healing starts the moment you decide you're worth it. Our first session is where that decision becomes real.
I meet you where you are. I listen deeply, adjust intentionally, and build a therapeutic relationship that actually fits you — not a generic approach applied to everyone. I translate the clinical into the real. Therapy shouldn't feel like a foreign language. I make complex concepts accessible and applicable to your actual life so you always know what we're doing and why. I bring lived experience to this work. As a woman, a mother, and an entrepreneur I understand the weight of carrying multiple roles while quietly holding yourself together. That informs everything about how I show up for you. I am direct without being harsh. I will tell you the truth — gently, thoughtfully, and honestly. Real growth requires real honesty and I'm here to help you actually change, not just feel comfortable. I specialize in what works. EMDR is at the core of my practice because it produces results that are real and lasting — not just temporary relief.
Are you feeling stuck and weighed down by past experience? Do you often find yourself questioning your worth, replaying painful memories, or struggling to trust others? You might feel like you’re trying to move forward but can’t escape the hold of your past. It’s exhausting, feeling like you’re navigating this on your own, longing for peace and connection but unsure where to start. If this resonates, I’m here to help you move toward healing and rediscover your strength.
Other specialties
I identify as
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
In my Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) practice, I use a structured approach to address clients' thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. I start by identifying negative thought patterns and beliefs, exploring core beliefs and cognitive distortions. Then, I help clients challenge and reframe these negative thoughts using techniques like cognitive restructuring. Additionally, I incorporate behavioral interventions such as behavior monitoring and goal setting to facilitate positive changes. Overall, I emphasize collaboration, skill-building, and empowerment, equipping clients with tools for managing emotions and improving well-being independently.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I use Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help clients who struggle with intense emotions, impulsive behaviors, and challenges in relationships. My experience with DBT includes supporting clients in building skills around mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness.
EMDR
I use EMDR therapy to help clients process and heal from past trauma, distressing experiences, and limiting beliefs that may still be impacting their daily lives. My training and experience in EMDR allow me to support clients in safely accessing and working through memories that may feel stuck or overwhelming.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
I use Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy to help clients understand and heal the different “parts” of themselves that may carry pain, protect them from harm, or feel stuck in old patterns. IFS is a compassionate and empowering approach that allows us to explore your inner world without judgment.

I really enjoy seeing Whitley. She has reaffirmed and given me tools to cope with life.

I started sessions with Whitley almost 2 months ago and I definitely feel a safe haven within our chats. She is very sweet and her approach is always gentle and informative. In such little time, I’m very confident to say that our sessions are making such a difference in my everyday life and mental health. If you’re looking for someone who is empathetic, enlightened, and honest I would recommend her 1000x.

I just had my 1st initial session, and I learned things about me that I had no idea and opened my mind up to exploring and trying new things. I’m eager and very excited to see how much more I can learn about myself to better myself with Ms. Frazier. I highly recommend!
