Liam Whitfield

I consider it a great joy to journey with clients on paths to freedom and understanding. I have a heart for children, teenagers, and adults, as well as coupes and families as I walk beside them and help them along their journey.  I strive to create a safe and supportive environment where clients can explore their concerns, discover their strengths, and work towards lasting change. I have a deep appreciation for the diversity of experiences and backgrounds that shape each individual, and I draw inspiration from the stories of reconciliation and redemption that I witness in my work and in my own life. Whether you are seeking help for personal issues, relationship challenges, or family dynamics, I am here to walk alongside you on your journey towards healing and growth.

My therapeutic approach is deeply rooted in the integration of data-backed processes and informed by a Christian perspective. I am trained in Integrated Systemic Therapy (IST), and my practice is informed by various other approaches such a Bowenian Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and the Gottman Method. I believe in the importance of understanding the broader context of one's life, including family dynamics and generational patterns, to foster healing and growth. I am committed to meeting my clients where they are in life and supporting them in a way that  fosters growth in their personal, relational, and spiritual development.

I hold a B.S. in Behavioral Neuroscience from Westmont College in Santa Barbara, CA, and a M.S. in Marriage and Family Therapy from Northwestern University’s Family Institute in Chicago, Illinois. My education and training have equipped me with a solid foundation in both the scientific and relational aspects of therapy. I am a member of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy and the Christian Association for Psychological Studies, organizations that underscore my commitment to professional excellence and ethical practice.

On a personal note, I am happily married to my beautiful wife, a native Houstonian, and we are active members of our church community.  In my free time I enjoy hiking, fly fishing, and anything that gets me moving.  For a number of summers during my collage years, I was a counselor at Pine Cove, a Christian summer camp. While at Pine Cove, I also served as Program Director and completed The Forge program.
