Hello, my name is Kerry Whiteley and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) licensed and based in Florida. I received my master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Troy University in 2021 and have 3 years of clinical experience. I have training and experience in somatic & mindfulness-based CBT and am an EMDR certified therapist working with individuals.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In your first session, we will explore what brought you to therapy. Together we will set clear, specific, goals that can help you measure your progress. I often use EMDR, Somatic Therapy, and ego state work in my practice, but may employ a variety of different treatment types to support you.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

Having owned and operated a yoga studio prior to my therapy career, I feel my understanding of the mind/body connection helps assist clients exploring their somatic experience as well as learn relaxation strategies that help decrease symptoms of anxiety and trauma. I've studied somatic psychology and believe the combination of somatic work with cognitive and emotional exploration produces the most profound positive and lasting changes.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I work with individuals suffering from anxiety, depression, trauma, phase of life issues, and many other challenges. Through a collaborative therapeutic relationship, we will work together to heal old wounds, learn new ways of thinking, and practice new skills. I believe in the resiliency of the human spirit and the power to overcome even the most difficult circumstances.

Kerry was very warm and welcoming. I expressed my apprehensive feelings about the session and she was great at making me feel welcome. I loved her solution-focused approach and look forward to more sessions in the future.

My treatment methods

EMDR

Certified EMDR therapist. I use EMDR with many clients to process negative beliefs stored in the body and through past experiences.

Somatic

Through a nervous system approach, I help clients notice the sensations connected to feelings and beliefs to deepen awareness and insight around presenting issues. This in conjunction with CBT helps to deepen adapted cognition.
