The well-being of children and their families is the core of her work as a psychologist. With a history in different settings such as public schools, community clinics and hospitals, Dr. Wilhite has a wide range of experiences that inform her current practice.

Your insurance company will also be able to inform you of any copayments, co–insurance, or deductibles that will be your responsibility. If you proceed in scheduling an appointment and your health insurance benefits do not participate with OHSU providers, your out of pocket liability may be higher.
