Sinitra Applewhite, MA, LPC
Licensed Professional Counselor
Welcome! You may feel overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, or relationship struggles and unsure how to move forward. Life can feel heavy, but healing is possible. Together, we’ll explore what’s holding you back and help you reconnect with peace, clarity, and purpose. I’ll support you in reducing negative self-talk, increasing self-esteem, and rediscovering the strength and resilience already within you.
As you become more aware of your triggers and develop healthier coping strategies, you may begin to notice time slowing down, a greater sense of focus, and a deeper appreciation for the present moment. In therapy with me, you’ll experience a warm, nonjudgmental space where we work at your pace.
I use a holistic approach grounded in empathy and evidence-based practices to help you heal from within. You’ll feel supported as we build clarity, confidence, and alignment with your most authentic self. Let’s start your journey toward healing, balance, and emotional freedom.
