Dear FWF Family,

I want to personally welcome you to The Florence Whaley Foundation! Whether you are just starting your journey or continuing a process that’s already underway, I want you to know that you are in the right place! As the founder, I am deeply committed to providing a space where you can feel safe, supported, and empowered to take control of your entire well-being. This foundation was born out of a powerful legacy left by my grandmother and her belief that, “everyone deserves the chance to thrive and be whole”. Like many of you, I have witnessed and experienced the challenges that life can create—whether it’s trauma, relational issues, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, or the overwhelm of everyday life. What I’ve learned, both professionally and personally, is that no one should have to navigate these challenges alone and that cost and accessibility should not be barriers to your journey.

At the heart of our programs is a team of compassionate, culturally competent and skilled professionals who are dedicated to helping you not just manage, but truly overcome the obstacles that stand in your way. We’ve designed these programs with a holistic approach because we believe that healing is multi-dimensional. It’s about addressing your emotional, psychological, and physical needs through evidence-based practices, personalized care, and unwavering support.

I am proud to say that our programs are more than just therapy sessions or classes—it’s a community. It’s a place where you will be heard, where your story matters, and where your progress, no matter how small, is celebrated. We are here to walk with you, every step of the way. As you embark on this path, I encourage you to be patient with yourself and trust the process. Healing takes time, progress takes time, and it’s not always linear, but it is possible. And most importantly, you are not alone in this journey. We are here to guide and support you through the ups and downs, with the ultimate goal of helping you find balance, peace, and renewed strength in your life.

Thank you for trusting us with your care. I am honored to be part of your journey and I look forward to witnessing the growth, resilience, and transformation that lies ahead for you.

With warm regards and hope,
