I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia with 6 years of experience working with individuals, children, and families in an outpatient setting as well as providing tele mental health services. My education includes a B.S. in Criminal Justice and a M.S. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I believe in creating a new therapy for each client built on a trusting relationship and utilizing an integrative approach to the process of therapy. I feel my clients are the experts of their lives, and I am hear to listen and help. My role is to be an attentive, safe place to help guide clients through the struggles life can bring. I fulfill this role by subscribing to a holistic, biopsychosocial approach combined with empathy and therapeutic intervention. My education and clinical experience influence my practice to be focused towards Person Centered Therapy, Play Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Acceptance Commitment Therapy, Art Therapy, and Family Relational Therapy combined with influences from other modalities. I believe in tailoring the therapeutic journey to the individual's needs while ensuring a trusting relationship of respect and understanding.
When I am not attending to my clients, I am a loving mother to three amazing kids, a supportive partner to my significant other, and an outdoor enthusiast who loves to hike and garden. I enjoy yoga, reading, and painting. A perfect day for me includes a cup of coffee on the front porch, laughs with family and friends, and a quiet evening surrounded by pillows and immersed in a good book.
My practice hours vary and I encourage you to view my schedule. I am mostly available Friday-Saturday with appointment times in the mornings/early afternoons-evenings within the following time frames: 9AM-12PM (EDT); 2PM-7PM (EDT). Monday-Thursday I will have a few appointment times available in the morning/evening hours. I generally can respond to messages 1-2 times during the weekdays more so on the weekends. You can also book a live session with me ahead of time by viewing my schedule. Please remember that BetterHelp is not appropriate if you are in crisis or in immediate need of support. In crisis situations, please call 911 or local emergency services. You can also call 1-800-273-TALK (8255) to talk to someone right away.

Kitrina literally saved my life! I am forever grateful for the time we spent working through the past 8 months together. She has helped me reveal parts of me that I never knew existed. She welcomed me with a smile EVERY session and made me feel like a conqueror!

Kitrina has helped me to recognize my inner voice and trust it. She has guided me to finding my autonomy again after a toxic marriage and codependency issues, and never made me feel rushed or like I had to make any hard decisions on anyone else’s time but my own. She validated me when I felt like I had no one else to lean on or trust. I highly recommend her!!

Was very worried about matching with a random counselor when I started using BetterHelp, but fortunately hit the jackpot and got Ms. Kitrina Bush. Very present, kind, and her responses are very useful and personalized - not just a waterfall of recycled platitudes. 5/5 stars.

she’s very engaging and always has something to say that makes me feel better and take action into my own hands

Kitrina took all of the fear out of starting therapy again. I always get anxious about the first session with a new therapist, but she made the transition seamless. I immediately felt more relaxed and comfortable.

I’m really glad I got Dr. Bush as my therapist. She’s respectful, and soft spoken. She listens and will tell you the truth, not what you want to hear.
She had brought some light into my darkness.
