Clinical Background

Dr. McWhorter co-facilitated Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) groups, where she developed strong skills helping clients build emotional regulation, improve interpersonal functioning, and move through high-distress situations. That experience shapes her work today - she's comfortable sitting with hard emotions and skilled at helping clients move through them.
