Heather Whittall

Dr. Heather Whittall is a compassionate and dedicated therapist who believes that while everyone is dealt a specific set of cards in life, there is always a choice in how to play them. She understands that insight into one’s circumstances can bring relief, but recognizes that understanding alone is not sufficient for true growth. Dr. Whittall serves as a skilled mirror for her clients, helping them see themselves from different perspectives and examine their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in ways they may not have previously considered. This process of self-exploration fosters more choices, encourages helpful behaviors, alleviates emotional strain, and improves challenging relationships. With a goal of collaborating with clients to understand and achieve their unique objectives, Dr. Whittall has substantial experience supporting individuals through difficult relationships, chronic anxiety, mood disorders, and traumatic experiences, as well as addressing impulsive and compulsive behaviors. Her expertise includes working with clients who have autism spectrum disorder and other developmental challenges since 2009. Utilizing a strengths-based, collaborative, and behaviorally focused approach, Dr. Whittall also emphasizes self-understanding and exploration in her practice, ensuring a supportive environment for all individuals, including preteens, teens, adults, and elders.
