Our Beliefs About Family Therapy

  • We believe that the family is the ‘client.’ All therapy and therapeutic efforts are driven to help the family change from its current unhelpful patterns to patterns of hope for everyone in the family. 
  • We believe that solutions for a family lie within the family itself. We will do our best to help families in the process of finding solutions, but the ultimate answers come from within you and your family. 
  • We believe that there is good in all people. All people go through life and encounter certain circumstances that cause the good in them to be hidden from view. We will work with you to find that good, so that you and others can see and act accordingly. 
  • Lastly, we believe that change only comes about through experience. Having a different interaction with your therapist, than what you are use to, is essential to healing and solution finding. Albert Einstein put it perfect in this quote: “All knowledge is experience, everything else is just information.”

What Our Clients Are Saying About Us

5/5
Clinical Supervision
Michael Whitehead is a genius as a therapist (and human being).
Couple and Family Therapy
Dr. Michael Whitehead has been and continues to be a godsend. He has always been practical in his guidance when times felt impossible to navigate. He is thorough. He backs his methodology with research and experience... Tri-Cities Washington has lost one of our BEST to some very lucky people in Twin Falls. I have been in what has been called by a few therapists and attorneys, "The most high conflict divorce they have seen." Those therapists and attorneys have ALL met my informing them that Dr. Whitehead has moved out of Tri-Cities with first shock and then a statement of, "He was one of our best" or flat out, "Oh, NO."
Individual Therapy
My counselor at Aspen Grove Family Therapy really listened without judging. It felt like a safe place to talk about anything. They helped me progress without pushing too hard. I really feel that they helped me understand what was really going on and gave me tools to work through it. Thanks so much!
Professional Workshop
Simply put, Michael is brilliant. I have sat in many of his training sessions in awe at his insights. Michael is a giving, caring person who always keeps the best interest of others in focus. He provided training in marriage and family relations to our group on a volunteer basis out of his sincere desire to help make a difference in the lives of those he was serving. I have a great appreciation and admiration for him and his contribution to individuals and families as well as to society.
Clinical Supervision
Michael Whitehead was a consistent and caring supervisor who showed confidence in the people he supervised. He showed sincere interest in the ideas of the therapists he worked for and provided excellent insight.
Couple and Family Therapy
If you are looking for a great family therapist, I don't believe you'll find any better therapist or investment than you will with Dr. Whitehead!
Individual Therapy
Dr. Whitehead reframed my dilemma in ways that challenged many of my existing beliefs. My goal in therapy was to make a challenging decision based on my values, and belief systems. His therapy style helped me achieve this within a reasonable time frame.
Professional Workshop
Best training I have attended in years!
Clinical Supervision
I was supervised by Michael for two years in Michigan while earning my license as a Marriage and Family Therapist. There were many things that I appreciated about Michael as a supervisor. One of those being Michael's generosity as well as his clinical expertise. I believe I am a much more present therapist after the many hours of video reviews and critiques in supervision with Michael. I would highly recommend Michael as a clinical supervisor. He shows a high level of investment in helping upcoming therapists become knowledgeable and confident.
Couple and Family Therapy
Michael is a thorough, considerate family therapist who is committed to helping every client he meets.
Couple and Family Therapy
Michael is a well-qualified, competent, and compassionate therapist who truly understands the nature of family, couple, and individual issues. He provides excellent therapy services to all whom he serves, and is one of the most knowledgeable and giving people I know.
Professional Workshop
This workshop (Intro to CCPT) was wonderful! It is already helping me and my students at an elementary school. I have learned so much! Dr. Whitehead is extremely knowledgeable and is able to share his experience with play therapy very well!
Clinical Supervision
Michael was a great supervisor for me. I really enjoyed our time spent applying theories to my cases. At the time we worked together, my understanding of theory especially in application was fuzzy. We spent time every supervision session discussing my cases in context. I found that to be very helpful to my development as a therapist. One of Michael's many talents as a supervisor is meet his supervisees where they are and address their specific needs at the time.
Couple and Family Therapy
For Family/Couples Therapy, Michael is a very good pro-family therapist that gets to the heart of the issues quickly and in a way that is comfortable for everyone.
