Whitney Boole, MA, LMFT #93107
Whitney established Beach Cities Psychotherapy in 2016 with the goal of creating a safe, comfortable practice by the beach for the South Bay Community.
Whitney appreciates the vulnerability required in seeking help and wants people who reach out to find the right fit— if she and her Associates are not the best fit, she helps people who reach out find a local therapist who is.
Whitney’s focus is on her clients’ needs and goals, offering a compassionate non-judgmental approach to psychotherapy. While Whitney still works with many of her clients in the office, Whitney also offers Walk and Talk sessions on the strand in Hermosa and on the beach as well across the street from our offices. She has experience with mood disorders including anxiety, panic and depression, addiction, trauma, relational issues and she also offers couples therapy.
Whitney is experienced working with First Responders and, through a previous career working in film and television, did interviews and ride-alongs with first-responders all over the country. She currently provides training on Anger and Trauma to first responders. Whitney is also experienced working with Partners of Sex Addicts and people recovering from betrayal trauma. She views divorce as trauma and is the author of You Got This: Healing Through Divorce.
Whitney is a mother of three children, including twins, and understands first hand the pressures of being a parent. She enjoys working with parents.
Whitney Boole obtained her Masters in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University and her Bachelors in Communication Studies at UCLA where she graduated Phi Beta Kappa.
