“The meaning of life is to give life meaning.” -Viktor Frankl, psychiatrist and Holocaust survivor
Hi, I’m Whitney Rutter, MS, LCMHCA.
I’m a counselor who loves to help my clients become better equipped to handle the struggles of life. I believe that counseling is a collaborative effort between the counselor and client, and I will work alongside you to help you uncover what matters most in your life, and then use those values to build the life that you want to have.
I have loved stories for my entire life- so it is no surprise that I have always been an avid reader and am now a counselor! I also enjoy cross stitching, working out, baking, and listening to audiobooks. My husband and I own a Corgi, Evie, and we can frequently be found on family walks outside.
I started my own counseling journey in my twenties, and it was life changing for me. Now in my thirties, I decided to go into this field because I truly believe that counseling offers the power of connection and can be an incredible force for change in someone’s life. I love being able to help clients see the strength and resilience that is already within them, and helping them make the choices to accomplish their goals.
Avid Story Lover and Corgi Mom
