I am licensed in Texas with 16 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, & motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where they can feel like themselves and not worry about outside judgement. I understand better than most therapists what it's like being in need and not knowing where to turn and I feel this is reflected in my understanding, personable nature and overall counseling approach. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Whitney Scheef. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Right away Whitney made me feel comfortable as she listened and responded to my life experiences with compassion and empathy. She is helping me turn some of my behaviors and thought processes into healthy ones so that I can have a better relationship with my friends and family along with showing myself some grace. I have learned about what trauma can do to someone and the more I learn, the more I understand how my reactions can be a reflection of that. Just having someone to talk to who understands what I’m going through has been so helpful and finally feels like I’m letting it all out.
