Depth psychology and Yoga psychology are both based on the premise that in order to heal suffering we must hold deep conversations within ourselves—that we look within to bring light to our shadow and root out the unhealthy aspects in our systems.

Transformational Coaching

These are psychologically, emotionally, and physically complex times in which we are living. We have been thrust into a radically new era at lightning speed.

Underneath the anxiety, stress, and uncertainty that we face, there is something in all of us that is asking to be understood and healed. I seek to meet you where you are and assist you in resolving the pain and confusion, which blocks your sense of peace and authenticity.

Together we will find a place of equilibrium from which you can engage your inner and outer world in new and more effective ways. You can then make the changes you need to make in order to experience fulfillment.

I believe that deep within you, you already have the answers you seek. I work with you to transform and heal by means of listening to your innate bodymind wisdom, and learning to interpret the messages accurately, so you can joyfully follow your path in life—and orient yourself to a future we will all collectively build as we continue to integrate the events of the last couple years and more.

From the first session on, you will begin to: gain fresh perspectives; know and understand your deepest truth; improve communication; transform the patterns and conditions causing anxiety, fear, and disillusionment into peace, unconditional love and purpose.

Sessions are available by FaceTime, Skype and Zoom as well as in person. My office is located in downtown Culver City, across from the Culver Steps and the Culver City Hotel.

Rates range between $195 to $295 per hour depending on the frequency of the sessions as well as your income level. Please honor a 48-hour cancellation policy to avoid being charged for a missed session.

Psychedelic Integration and Spiritual Guidance

With over twenty-five years researching the mind-body connection and, for almost twenty years, the interrelation of the mind-body connection with pure consciousness—I specialize in the intersection of Western psychology and Eastern liberatory and shamanic traditions. 

It is my calling to work with individuals who are looking for guidance beyond traditional psychotherapy. 

These in-depth soul sessions tend to spiritual experiences of all varieties, including those that have been deeply moving and, sometimes, alarming.

If you have experienced what is often referred to as a non-ordinary state of consciousness (whether spontaneously, through meditative practices or through use of psychedelics), I offer a safe space to process the breakthrough, containment for the sometimes overwhelming amount and nature of the phenomena, and tools to ground and gain perspective.

Designed to support your healing process mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually, the session lengths and frequencies are tailored to the individual.

For inquiries, retreat information, one-on-one scheduling, or a complimentary 15-minute phone consultation, please call 310.838.6019 or email inquiries@leannewhitney.com.

CranioSacral Therapy

If you book an in-person session, I also offer CranioSacral Therapy as an optional additional healing modality. This potent restorative therapeutic assists in mobilizing the bodymind’s wisdom to break up irregular energy patterns blocking the natural flow of the life force.

Through the use of soft touch generally no greater than 5 grams, or about the weight of a nickel, CST releases restrictions in the craniosacral system to improve the functioning of the central nervous system. This in turn bolsters resistance to dis-ease, eliminates the negative effects of stress, and enhances overall health. 

If you are experiencing the residual effects of past trauma and negative emotional experiences—through a deeply attuned somato-emotional process—CraioSacral Therapy assists in dissipating these mental, emotional and physical effects.

Down in the depths of the cells, where the body knows, this gentle touch technique compliments the bodymind’s innate healing processes allowing the body to relax and self-correct.

Testimonials

  • "Dr. Leanne Whitney has been tremendously instrumental in helping me regain focus on my dreams and goals. My emotional responses were getting the best of me when I was faced with adversity. However, through my work with Leanne I learned the importance of being able to validate my anger and pain without being the cause of additional anger and pain in the process. Once I was able to consistently implement that approach, the people I was having issues with finally had the energy to hear my side of the story."

There is calm and quiet peace within each of us, a wholeness of spirit, mind, body, and soul that we often misunderstand and therefore distort and block.

Seeing her regularly keeps me accountable for my own self care. Ending each visit with a cranial sacral session is the highlight of my week.

  • "Working with Leanne for the past four years has been instrumental to my personal and professional growth. Leanne's empathy and warmth have provided the space of safety and comfort that I needed in order reach deep within for a better understanding of my life thus far. This space of safety has been integral for my healing. Leanne's patience with the process of healing and encouragement throughout, have helped me to keep grounded as I discover myself within and without. Leanne's approach has been holistic where mind, body and spirit are yolked in context of history culture and society. Our work together has been entirely online, as I currently live in the Middle East. I would also like to add that bypassing the distance and physical borders despite many challenges, has confirmed Leanne's philosophy that we are one. With Leanne's help I have been able to get past my own internal borders. I strongly recommend Leanne for any individual seeking to gain a deeper understanding of themselves. I feel that her knowledge and under- standing, paralleled by her strong healing abilities, in combination with her uniting philosophy, are essential for healing and the antidote to our world that is currently very divided."

  • If you are seeking a wise and trustworthy guide on your healing journey with psilocybin, look no further than Leanne. From the moment I met her, I felt completely safe, seen, and supported. In partnership with Rev. Jacqui Ruiz and her amazing team, Leanne co-led a group retreat experience that was truly transformative. Her integration sessions offered me helpful frameworks to 'connect the dots' between past and present experiences, and her intuitive in-ceremony support directly contributed to a deep healing of my childhood wounds, which I have been seeking for over three decades. Through my Medicine Journey Retreat with Leanne, I received an experience of soul connection and unconditional love that can be summed up in three words: beauty, unity, and community. I am forever changed and deeply grateful.

  • I have been working with Dr. Leanne Whitney for 2 years now and I genuinely consider her a gift from The Universe. My personal transformation speaks to not only Dr. Leanne's skill set to listen to what is not being said, but also to her incredible insight on what it means to be human: our struggles, patterns, conditioning, as well as our soul's deep desire to BE in alignment with ourselves and the Universal Spirit. Her deep knowledge , understanding, and integration of the Yoga Sutras and Jung's depth psychology make her a powerhouse! She has supported me along my journey by lovingly holding space for me, asking profound questions, as well as questions that challenge my perspective - all while allowing me to lead the conversation and heal at my own pace. I have never felt that she had agenda for me - she has always met me where I am at - without judgement and with so much compassion and love. I began my journey with her confused and deeply desiring a relationship with my mother, a relationship that I was ready to give up on. Dr. Leanne taught me how to develop a relationship with our Divine Mother, how to trust my intuition, reconnect with myself, and how to move towards my center. I can most definitely say that I am not the same person I was 2 years ago, and I'm forever grateful and so excited to share that my relationship with my mother has healed in places I didn't even know needed healing. The weight and confusion I have been carrying around for decades has finally been lifted. I highly recommend Dr. Leanne if you are ready for transformation! Aho.

  • Dr.Leanne Whitney truly embodies what she teaches! Even after 45 years of meditation and of reading numerous renditions of Patanjali's Sutras, my taking her course recently on the Sutras has given me more clarity, understanding, and love of Gift of Yoga. Her background in depth psychology blends perfectly with the ancient yogic wisdom; in fact, it makes her presentation so much more relatable to the Western 'thinker." Leanne is totally approachable & desires her students to ultimately realize Patanjali's treatise on Real Liberation - and live it. If only our ailing world could genuinely taste some of the wisdom transmitted in her wonderful 5 week interactive videocourse ... Oh, and her book, CONSCIOUSNESS IN JUNG AND PATANJALI, is superb and perfect for those who aim to transform to the good.

  • The wellness retreat in Joshua Tree with a focus on plant medicine, with Leanne and Crystal, was an experience of a lifetime for me! They created such a mindfully-curated healing container and flow to the transformational experience for everyone in the group. This allowed me to trust and surrender to the plant medicine and receive a life-changing healing experience that continues to unfold with gifts. Crystal and Leanne served with a high level of intuitive knowing, open hearts, compassion, and kindness that was able to meet each participant’s needs differently. They are a great team and complement each other’s gifts beautifully, and together they create magic!

  • This retreat was truly a gift in so many ways. The honor and reverence you both hold for this medicine is such a critical piece that I believe gets lost or becomes extremely minimized in some instances, impeding the medicine’s ability to move freely throughout the ceremony space. Not here. You cultivated a beautiful experience—assisting, guiding, nurturing—with the purest of feminine energy, all the while maintaining a space where the medicine was allowed to flow freely and exercise all of her power, in whatever capacity she needed, without the interference of predisposition, assumption, ego, or pride. I am honored to have been a part of this, and am extremely grateful for it as it relates to healing and my journey. Much love to you both.
