I have seen first hand that life is hard. I have been encouraged to see the power of therapy across all settings and over all barriers. I have seen lives changed; I love my job. My name is Tia Gitgood. I am a Social Worker licensed in Michigan, Tennessee, and Georgia with over 10 years of experience. I have worked in various settings from in-home to community clinics. I received my Master's Degree in Social Work from Georgia State University.
I utilize a mix of therapies. My priority is to help my client. I work to stay up to date on new research to ensure that if something can help, I know about it. I primarily utilize cognitive-behavioral, dialectical-behavioral, and motivational interviewing. I believe the whole person must be treated. If you are not your emotional best, your body will tell you.
I would love to take this journey to healing with you when you are ready.

Tia has been the biggest blessing in my life. She’s honest and empathetic and validated my feelings. She’s not just a therapist, but someone who’s experienced a life that allows her to relate to her clients on many different levels. She’s revolutionary and I pray everyone gets to experience her guidance as a therapist.

Tia has helped me so much in the grief I was experiencing over the loss of my mother and more. She has been supportive and challenging. For the first time in a long while I am feeling hopeful and having more good days than bad days.

Tia is so kind and has a calming presence. She asks questions, and allows you time to consider your thoughts and feelings rather than guiding you to an answer. Even after a short while I already feel better and Tia’s guidance is to thank for that!

I trust Tia and I feel that I can share anything with her. She makes me feel seen and heard. I'm so much better for having her in my life. Joining Better Help the best decision I ever made.
