Resilient

Resilient Psychotherapy & Psychiatric Services was founded by Licensed Clinical Psychologist Dr. Christina Whelan, who specializes in collaborative care for adults with ADHD, OCD, anxiety, and more. Our team has since expanded to include experienced psychiatrists Dr. Sean Whelan, focused on adult medication management, and Dr. Fadalia Kim, who provides psychiatric evaluations and medication management for both adults and youth.

As mental health professionals, we believe that no one should have to go through life’s struggles alone. Through our high-quality, fully confidential care, specialized resources, and accessible team, we hope to help positively transform the way that you see yourself, view others, and experience the world.

3. Our Approach

We aim to go above and beyond the expected through our concierge services. Our providers recognize that you are the expert in your life. During every visit, we listen to you, learning about your real-life needs and experiences; this allows us to fine-tune evidence-based practices and medications that suit your lifestyle.

You may consider seeing a psychologist or psychiatrist in OKC when emotional or mental health symptoms begin to interfere with work, relationships, or daily life, or when symptoms persist despite self-help efforts.

Whether you see a psychologist or a psychiatrist in OKC depends on your individual needs. Psychologists focus on psychotherapy and behavioral support, while psychiatrists are medical doctors who can evaluate mental health conditions and can prescribe medication. Some people benefit from working with both as part of their care.

When you or a loved one begins struggling with mental health, your first source of support may be your primary care provider. General medicine offers a helpful starting point; however, to find the right diagnosis and medication plan, specialized psychiatric care is often required.

Partnering with a seasoned psychiatrist in OKC puts you on the path toward an accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment plan from day one. Backed by years of well-rounded clinical experience across both inpatient and outpatient settings, a specialist evaluates your symptoms through a deeper, more specialized lens—sparing you from months of trial-and-error and helping you regain stability sooner.

Deciding whether to start a child or teenager on psychiatric medication can feel overwhelming for any parent. That is why we take a careful, thoughtful approach: medication is a supportive tool, not a quick fix or default response to every struggle.

We focus on an accurate diagnosis first, prescribe the lowest effective dose, closely monitor side effects, and keep you involved in every decision. The goal is never to change who your child is, but to give them the stability they need to thrive.

Psychotherapy is commonly used to support individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma-related concerns, mood disorders, and other mental health needs. At Resilient Psychotherapy & Psychiatric Services, our areas of expertise include anxiety, depression, grief and loss, OCD, ADD & ADHD, LGBTQIA+ individual therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy for chronic pain management.
