Rock climbing is an activity where participants climb up, down or traverse natural rocks or artificial rock walls. The goal is to reach the summit or the anchors of a route without falling. As we navigate the world in 2022, we too climb up and down across all "surfaces" and "walls". Our summit looks differently from person to person so at times we need the proper support to climb over the top.
The person who pulls in the slack as you progress (and holds the rope if you fall) is your “belayer.” Whitney's therapeutic belaying is a critical role, as your guide, she will support you as you "Top Out" on your climb.
Whitney works with young adults struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, and addiction. She practices cognitive behavioral therapy through a trauma-informed lens. Utilizing mindfulness and EMDR, I help individuals rediscover their strengths and reclaim their life. Whitney adds a special component to her repertoire of therapeutic interventions. Listen as she describes how Rock Climbing saved her life and how it has expanded her therapeutic approach.
