AnnMarie Whithed, PsyD

Dr. AnnMarie Whithed is a licensed clinical psychologist with over 17 years of experience as a trauma therapist supporting adults throughout Florida. She specializes in helping individuals heal from PTSD and C-PTSD, complex trauma, grief and loss, depression, anxiety, challenging life transitions, and difficult relationship issues—including recovery from narcissistic abuse and unhealthy interpersonal patterns. Her clients are often professionals and other adults seeking to rebuild resilience, improve self-understanding, and create healthier boundaries so they can move forward with greater clarity, hope, and fulfillment in both their personal and professional lives.

Dr. Whithed’s therapeutic approach is trauma-informed, strengths-based, and insight-focused. She draws primarily from psychodynamic principles to help clients explore how early life experiences continue to shape current emotions and behaviors, while integrating practical tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address unhelpful thought patterns. She also incorporates mindfulness, self-reflection, and core values exploration to foster lasting growth. For clients who wish to integrate faith or spirituality, Dr. Whithed provides a respectful space to weave spiritual reflection into the healing process.

Holding a PsyD from Immaculata University, Dr. Whithed has been practicing psychotherapy since 2009 and established her private practice, Emerald Shores Psychological Services, in Florida in 2020. She is a compassionate, reflective therapist who believes every individual possesses unique inner strength and resilience. She offers online therapy exclusively via secure video sessions for adults across Florida, providing convenient and confidential support from the comfort of home. Free 15-minute consultations are available to help determine if her approach is a good fit.
