Tori Applewhite

Tori is a student intern working on her master’s in counseling at St. Edward’s University. She is studying to become a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and expects to graduate in Spring 2026. She began serving the neurodivergent community as a caregiver and later worked as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). Through this experience, she became motivated to support whole families. Her approach combines Narrative Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. She encourages families to find solutions to their problem-saturated stories and work more cohesively. Tori completed her practicum at the St. Edward’s Community Clinic, where she worked with clients with a wide range of needs and learned the importance of fostering a genuine, authentic, and nonjudgmental environment.
