Whitney Thiry, MSW

I'm Whitney (they/them), I'm trans, weird, and I'm a therapist :) I love working with queer and neurodiverse people of all ages. I value creating positive experiences for people who have felt misunderstood, had difficult experiences with therapy, or feel hesitant to try it.

 

With curiosity, we can explore how your experiences have shaped you and honor the ways you've learned to protect yourself. My hope is to create space for unmasking, loving and nurturing the baby inside you, and holding all the parts of yourself with compassion.

 

I believe healing happens through connection, safety, and feeling seen and heard. Clients often share that they feel safe being themselves with me. I bring my sensitivity into our work, attuning to your energy and experiencing emotions alongside you. There's space for laughter, reflection, and thoughtful challenges.

 

My approach is relational and informed by infant mental health. I offer play therapy for children and bring playfulness into my work with adults. My training as a children's yoga teacher and martial arts practice help bring movement and body awareness into therapy. You make the rules here! We can get on the floor, move, create, talk, explore, whatever!

 

Identity, relationships, and trauma are some of the things I explore most with clients, but how we connect matters most to me. I want to know your story! Let’s learn about your patterns, the needs beneath behaviors, and the expectations and messages you've absorbed from the world and systems around you. We can question beliefs that don’t serve you and recognize strengths you may not see yet. Through this work, you can build self-trust, recognize and honor your needs, and discover new ways of relating to yourself and others.

 

If you think we'd be a good fit, I'd love to meet you!
