I have nothing but great things to say about Dr. Pitts. Everything that has been said about her in her reviews is true--professional, wise, diligent, approachable, and compassionate. She truly listens, provides relevant resources and practical advice, and challenges you to work through solutions through evidence-based cognitive and behavioral strategies.

Third lesson just over and I feel more seen and understood than ever! Great advice on a personal trusting level. She actually listens and adjusts the sessions to more pressing matters if necessary. Amazing woman, extremely happy to have found here on this app and excited to work with her for the next months to come!

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.
