Prior to starting therapy, my confidence was a bit shaky, I struggled with having an inherent sense of self worth, and multiple of my close relationships were riddled with confusion, misaligned expectations and quite a bit of hurt. By working with Dr. Pitts, I've developed a different perspective, gained an inherent sense of self worth, and grown closer to more consistently solid and positive person I know I can be! In particular, my relationship with my spouse has begun to feel more lighthearted again and is regaining a sense of sweetness, which is priceless.

I find Dr. Pitts very helpful in getting me to see the value of my own self worth. She has given me articles to read and things to work on outside our sessions. Dr. Pitts shares common experiences with me in a professional way so i understand I am not alone in thinking or feeling specific ways. I look forward to our sessions weekly and enjoy the Journaling (not expected or required). Overall, I feel that Dr. Pitts is helping me find the. "Real Authentic" me.

Dr Pitts is an exceptional therapist. She is wise and diligent yet approachable, down to earth, relatable and caring. I have learned so much from Dr Pitts in a very short amount of time. She has given me the skills and confidence to open doors in life that I never understood how to approach. I am grateful to learn from her.

Dr. Pitts really knows how to listen, but not only that, she also makes you question yourself and dig down to the root problems. There is structure and deep understanding to her therapy sessions. The aim is clearly to get you back on the right track and be a more loving, tolerant person towards yourself and others. My time with Dr. Pitts was invaluable and I would recommend her without a shadow of a doubt. Thank you!

Dr. Pitts is exactly the type of therapist I was looking for. She’s very responsive, honest, and real. She holds you accountable and remembers details you forgot you even shared. She makes you feel heard and seen and that was huge for me. I’ve already recommended her to people but I would do it 10x over. I’ve worked with her for 9 solid months and I am NOT the person I used to be because of her guidance. She’s an expert and is a hoot.
Thank you Dr.Pitts, you’ve helped bring me back to me.

Dr Pitts was the first therapist I was matched with, and I was nervous we wouldn't get along as I've heard some people don't get along with their first therapist. However, I'm glad that I was matched to Dr Pitts because we got along great. I appreciate her honesty and her professionalism, and like the way she listens deeply whilst still giving you hard truths if you need to hear it. Even though I didn't feel like I had any significant issues going into therapy, I felt well supported and still came away with good insights. I would recommend Dr Pitts!

Dr. Pitts is my saving grace! She is kind, supportive, attentive, and considerate when listening and responding to my needs. She is also honest and direct which is exactly what I am looking for in a therapist. She doesn't let things "slip through the cracks" and really focuses on a growth mindset rather than allowing you to remain in a stagnant place. If you are ready to grow and put the work in that it takes to make progress, then, she is your new best friend!
