Whitney(she/her), MA, MSHA, LPC, PMH-C, C-DBT. I have advanced training and certifications in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Perinatal Mental Health. I graduated from Regis University with a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health in 2016 and a Master of Science in Healthcare Administration from Oklahoma State University.
I have been working in the mental health field since 2013. My clinical experience ranges from in-home therapy with at-risk families to the elderly in long term care communities to individuals in community mental health. I opened my practice in 2019 as a means of bridging the gap for more women and mothers in need of mental health services that were unable to access care in their community. In 2023, I opened The Rylie Center for Hope and Healing, as a means of offering wrap-around care for Colorado families navigating pregnancy, pregnancy loss, infertility, and postpartum after years of watching under-resourced individuals and families fall through the cracks of the American healthcare model.
I specialize in treating postpartum mood disorders, women’s mental health issues, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, new mothers, mother wounds, adult children of emotionally immature parents, parenting stress, general life stressors and transitions, aging, and quality of life improvement. I am most passionate about working with women transitioning into motherhood as well as women with their own mother woulds and adult children of emotionally immature parents.
I believe that therapy is a partnership; you are in control of your journey and it is my job as your therapist to guide and navigate you towards your chosen path, goals, and destination. You have the tools and wisdom to reach your goals and full potential, it’s my job to help you access them and use them successfully. I believe in using a broad scope of skills and evidenced based practices depending on the client and their needs. I am clinically trained and certified in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), and various other counseling approaches. My theoretical orientation aligns with Person-Centered approach, existential therapy, humanistic therapy approaches, and some behavioral based models including DBT and CBT, and EMDR.
On a personal note, I believe that laughter is the best medicine, I try to incorporate humor into my therapy practice when appropriate. I am a mother myself and spend my free time with my beautiful family, volunteering in the community, and spending time baking, cooking, and crafting. I was born and raised in Oklahoma but have called Colorado home since I was a teen.
I look forward to connecting with you on your journey!
