Hello and welcome to The Center of Resiliency!

My name is Whitney West, and I’m a Marriage and Family Therapist Trainee currently pursuing my master’s degree at Alliant International University. I’m honored to be part of your journey and committed to creating a space where you feel safe, supported, and understood as you work toward growth and healing.

I work with teens, adults, couples, and families navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, emotional regulation, relationship struggles, life transitions, and stress. I also enjoy supporting clients through identity exploration, personal development, and holistic wellness.

My approach to therapy is grounded in warmth, curiosity, and a deep respect for each person’s unique story. I draw from family systems models—including Bowen, Structural, Strategic, Contextual, Object Relations, and Experiential Therapy—to help clients explore patterns, uncover insights, and move toward meaningful change. I value bringing in gentle guidance and psychoeducational support when helpful, while allowing space for clients to come to their own understanding in a way that feels organic and empowering.

Outside of the therapy room, I enjoy movement, reading, being in nature, and spending time with loved ones. I value creating a life rooted in authenticity, balance, and continuous growth, both personally and professionally.

As a Marriage and Family Therapy Intern, my goal is to provide a safe and supportive space where you feel understood and empowered. My approach is rooted in authenticity, empathy, and purposeful dialogue.

I specialize in working with individuals facing anxiety, life transitions, imposter syndrome, and personal growth. I also work with children, adolescents, adults, and the elderly, guiding them through moments of uncertainty and change.

I draw from Existential Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Narrative Therapy to help clients explore their thoughts, confront discomfort, and develop effective coping strategies.

A Little About Me:

I am a wife, mother, and military spouse who understands the complexities of balancing multiple roles. I am also passionate about writing books and am a lifelong learner, always seeking to grow and expand my understanding of the human experience. 

 Hello, my name is Bryn, and I warmly welcome you to the Center of Resiliency. 

I am delighted that you have found your way here and are taking this courageous step toward growth and healing. Prioritizing your well-being is a significant and commendable decision, especially in today’s fast-paced world, where it can be all too easy to neglect our inner peace. At the Center of Resiliency, we believe that prioritizing your mental and emotional health creates a ripple effect, positively impacting every aspect of your life and the lives of those around you.

I have the privilege of working with individuals from diverse backgrounds and life stages, including teens, adults, older adults, and couples. While my practice is inclusive, I am particularly passionate about helping clients navigate challenges such as depression, anxiety, life transitions, relationship issues, low self-esteem, motivation difficulties, OCD, PTSD, and autism spectrum disorders. I firmly believe that motivation and the right support can make therapy a transformative experience for anyone. 

My therapeutic approach is rooted in the present moment, emphasizing the importance of meeting clients where they are in their journey. I view therapy as a safe space for clients to pause, reflect, and re-center. My goal is to empower clients by equipping them with practical tools and strategies they can use beyond our sessions. Central to my practice is fostering self-regulation of the nervous system, cultivating self-reliance, and developing the ability to self-soothe during times of distress. 

Currently, I am pursuing my Master’s degree at National University, where I am deepening my understanding of humanistic and existential therapeutic approaches. I believe in the profound strength that comes from accepting reality as it is before embarking on the path to change. 

Outside of my professional life, I enjoy training in martial arts, immersing myself in books at local coffee shops, and cherishing meaningful moments with my friends and family. 

I look forward to supporting you on your journey toward resilience, healing, and personal growth. Together, we can work toward creating a life that feels balanced, fulfilling, and aligned with your truest self.

Hello everyone, I'm Ketsuree, and I can go by Kat.

Reaching out for help can be challenging, but it’s important to know that you’re not alone in your struggles. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, grappling with self-doubt, or carrying a heavy emotional burden, there are others who understand. Anxiety may leave your mind racing, making relaxation feel impossible, while depression can sap your motivation and create a sense of disconnection. Remember, I am here to support you throughout this journey.

I work with individuals of all ages, including children, teens, adults, single parents, couples, and families, to help them navigate various challenges such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, stress, life changes, relationship issues, OCD, PTSD, and autism. My approach combines evidence-based therapies tailored to each person’s healing journey, including Interpersonal Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Psychodynamic Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).

I believe that each individual's story is unique, and I approach therapy with a deep sense of cultural sensitivity and respect. I celebrate the diverse experiences that shape who you are and recognize the strength found within your identities.

As a Marriage and Therapy student intern at National University, I bring a unique perspective shaped by my background as a substitute special education teacher. This experience has provided me with valuable insights into working with children, families, and diverse populations, highlighting the beauty each individual contributes to the world. Being Thai and proficient in Lao, I deeply understand the complexities of navigating identity, cultural expectations, and family dynamics.

Outside of therapy, I love reading, playing badminton, morning workouts, and spending time in nature. I also enjoy experimenting in the kitchen though not every dish turns out as planned!
