Wesley White MA, LPC
Psychotherapist
Individual & Couples Therapist
Pronouns – He/Him/His
Whether you’re feeling emotionally disconnected from your partner, stuck in repetitive arguments, or unsure how to rebuild trust, you deserve support. As a Level 3 Gottman-trained couples therapist in the Loop, Chicago, I help couples break unhelpful patterns and reconnect with the reasons they fell in love in the first place.
Using Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Relational Life Therapy (RLT), I work with couples in their 30s and 40s balancing work, parenting, and the pressures of daily life. We’ll focus on increasing emotional safety, strengthening communication, and rebuilding intimacy—one session at a time.
Couples Counseling Services I Provide:
-
Rebuilding trust after infidelity
-
Managing parenting and career stress
-
Reducing emotional distance and miscommunication
-
Navigating conflict avoidance and anxiety in relationships
-
Pre-marital and long-term relational tune-ups
You’ll leave sessions with new tools, deeper understanding, and a renewed sense of partnership.
Therapy for Men: Anxiety, Trauma, and Emotional Resilience
As a male-identified therapist, I know how hard it can be to talk about emotions, especially in a world that values control over vulnerability. I provide a space where men can explore anxiety, depression, trauma, and identity without judgment—and with a therapist who gets it.
I use practical, evidence-based approaches such as:
-
-
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
-
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
-
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
-
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
-
Whether you’re facing burnout, anger, emotional disconnection, or the impact of trauma, we’ll work together to identify your values and build emotional strength and flexibility.
A Little About Me
Before becoming a therapist, I spent a decade in the tech world and also worked as a personal trainer. That experience shaped my mind-body approach to wellness. When I’m not in session, you’ll find me outside—hiking, kayaking, biking, or spending time with my dogs.
