What clients say about Dr. Whitehead
These are the words of real clients. All identifying details are omitted to protect privacy.
"Dr. Whitehead has a unique ability to make you feel heard without judgment. After years of struggling with anxiety, I finally feel like I have real tools to manage it. The online format made it so easy to stay consistent."
"I was skeptical about online therapy, but Dr. Whitehead made it feel just as personal as being in the same room. He's warm, direct, and genuinely insightful. I've recommended him to several friends."
"The $75 rate made it possible for me to actually commit to regular sessions. I've seen other therapists at much higher rates and gotten less out of it. Dr. Whitehead is the real deal."
"I came to Dr. Whitehead after losing my mother. He never rushed the process or made me feel like I should be 'over it' by now. His patience and expertise helped me find my footing again."
"Working through trauma with Dr. Whitehead was challenging but life-changing. He has a way of being direct and compassionate at the same time — which is rare."
"I appreciate that Dr. Whitehead doesn't just listen — he helps you understand yourself. After a difficult divorce, he helped me see patterns I'd been carrying for years."
The Research
Telehealth therapy: what the science says
Multiple peer-reviewed studies and professional organizations confirm that online therapy produces outcomes equivalent to in-person care.
National Library of Medicine
Effectiveness of Telehealth Psychotherapy
"Evidence supports the use of telehealth for application in psychotherapies and the management of common mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). With regard to effectively treating less common mental health conditions, there is insufficient evidence of a difference between psychotherapy delivered via telehealth and the same therapy delivered face-to-face."

Telehealth vs. In-Person Outcomes: 9-Trial Review
"This systematic review of 9 trials (which included 1,268 patients in aggregate) found evidence that psychological interventions delivered via telehealth or delivered face-to-face lead to similar outcomes for depressive symptom severity, quality of life, therapeutic alliance, and treatment satisfaction in both adults and young people."
