For the last 20 years, Ms. Whiddon has focused most of her time in private practice.

Ms. Whiddon saw a need to incorporate modern technology into healthcare, especially in the state of Georgia, where so many people live in rural areas, and do not have access to specialists. Ms. Whiddon had additional training in providing healthcare through telepsychiatry. She was one of the first clinicians to deliver healthcare through telepsychiatry in the state of Georgia.

In addition to seeing the need for reaching more patients, Ms. Whiddon wanted to incorporate an integrative approach to practicing psychiatry.
