Hi, I’m Detra Whiting LICSW-S, PIP

founder of Families Achieving More (F.A.M.), LLC. Here at F.A.M., we provide trauma-informed forensic evaluations, individual and family services, and adoption home studies across Alabama and Florida. Our work is rooted in clarity, compassion, and structure. We believe every client deserves to be seen, understood, and supported.

I’ve built this practice to serve individuals, families, courts, and agencies with integrity and respect. Whether we’re preparing a court-ready evaluation, guiding a family through the adoption process, or offering structured support to caregivers, we bring a calm, grounded approach that honors both evidence and humanity.

We understand how overwhelming these systems can feel. That’s why we’re focus on transparency, fairness, and culturally responsive care — helping others move forward with confidence, even in the most complex situations.

Just a Reminder……

“You don’t have to have everything figured out to take the next step. What matters most is that you’re showing up, trying, and choosing what’s best for you and your family, one moment at a time. Progress isn’t always loud or dramatic, sometimes it’s quiet, steady, and deeply brave. You’re doing more than you think, and you’re allowed to give yourself credit for that.”
