About Us

Dr. Jasmine H. Winbush

I am a relational psychotherapist, which means that I believe relationships (with family, friends, coworkers, higher powers, our relationship with our self, etc.) often play a role in our suffering and, yet, also play a crucial role in our healing. Relatedly, the relationship between the therapist and client is of utmost importance and requires trust and authenticity for both parties involved.  I use a variety of individualized, eclectic approaches to help each person meet their goals and needs. My therapeutic style is warm, direct, empowering, and collaborative.

I am a highly skilled Licensed Clinical Psychologist with generalist training with adult populations. I have specialty training and experience in multicultural psychology. This means that I often work with individuals who have felt “othered” in some way and/or hold identities that have been historically marginalized (women, individuals who are gender non-conforming/don’t identify within gender binaries, racial/ethnic minorities, LGBTQIA+, religious/spiritual minorities, etc.).

Below, are areas where I have specialty training:

  • Women’s Issues
  • Trauma and Recovery (childhood abuse and trauma, sexual assault, domestic violence, race and gender-based violence, spiritual abuse, etc.)
  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • Identity Concerns

Dr. Whitney A. Bowles

As a therapist, I strive to work authentically and collaboratively with clients to cultivate a space where clients can freely explore their thoughts, feelings, and relationships. As someone who believes that as humans we are wired for connection, my approach to therapy is rooted in relational-cultural and strengths-based approaches that are framed within a multicultural context. My goal is to help clients strengthen their connections to themselves, others, and the world. In order to improve connections and overall wellness, I draw from a variety of interventions that are then catered to the client’s unique journey. I tend to draw from interpersonal therapy, attachment theory, cognitive behavioral therapy, and dialectical behavioral therapy all while acknowledging that the client is their expert of their lived experiences.
