Meet Dr. Ralph Whetstine. A clinical psychologist, teacher , life coach and author. He is the founder of the therapy practice, Center for Conscious Counseling as well as RightMind Education, a center for personal growth, spiritual education, transpersonal insights and consciousness expansion.

With more than two decades of experience serving Schaumburg and the surrounding Northwest suburbs of Chicago, Dr. Whetstine has dedicated his career to helping individuals to achieve meaningful growth, healing and transformation.

Dr. Whetstine holds both a Master (MA) and a Doctor of Clinical psychology (Psy.D.) from the Illinois School of Professional Psychology, Chicago, which he obtained after receiving his undergraduate degree from the University of Michigan.

He is an Illinois licensed clinical psychologist and has extensive experience in private practice, public service mental health and academia.

His interest in spiritual studies began early with his participation in traditional church teachings while still a boy. However, by the time he was 12-years-old he had developed an abiding interest in non-traditional spirituality as he began to study Tarot, Astrology and consciousness expansion and human potential. An interest that has continued through to today and which informs his work both as a therapist and a coach.
