Whisper Snyder LMFT #145037
Hi, it’s nice to meet you! My name is Whisper and I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist.I've had the privilege of providing therapy to a diverse clientele navigating anxiety, depression, complex trauma, and life transitions. I really enjoy working with adolescents, teens, adults, families, and couples. Through my experiences in nonprofits, shelters, schools, and private practice I've garnered a breadth of knowledge and empathy to assist clients in achieving their therapeutic goals.
I’m truly honored to be a part of your journey towards healing. Embarking on the therapeutic journey can feel daunting and alone. It's normal to experience feelings of fear, skepticism, or uncertainty as you seek change. However, I firmly believe that humans are wired for connection, and we're not meant to navigate our struggles alone. My commitment is to guide you towards realizing that healing is attainable and that you have support every step of the way.
In my practice, I embrace a Humanistic approach, empowering clients to uncover their inherent strengths. I believe that the therapy space should be characterized by empathy, intentionality, and collaboration, providing clients with a safe space to confront and overcome their everyday challenges. Drawing from my own experiences of pain, my purpose is to offer a sanctuary for others as they navigate their own journeys.
