"A caring listener with 10+ years of experience providing individuals with compassionate mental health support. I have served in hospitals, community outpatient clinics, and crisis agencies. For many years I had the privilege of working with our nation’s veterans and their families. I enjoy the challenge of helping people sort through stressors and develop strategies to improve their overall health. I strive to empower each client toward self-awareness and emotional growth and stability. I will partner with you to identify strengths, recognize areas for growth and broaden positive coping skills. I wholeheartedly believe it is possible for individuals to improve their lives and recover from traumatic experiences. Holistic approach. I am skilled in evidence-based practices including CBT, Mindfulness, and ACT. My focus is to help motivated clients improve their emotional understanding and coping skills. I enjoy educating others on how to challenge thoughts, clarify values, and emotionally regulate themselves by recognizing triggers, thought distortion, and the inner critic. I am patient, casual, and nonjudgemental. Most people describe me as ""easy to talk to "". I listen with curiosity and help clients explore underlying themes and needs. I have always been naturally curious, positive, and people-oriented. Originally interested in nursing, I became increasingly fascinated with my psychology courses and the science involved in emotions and personality. Maintaining healthy relationships and connections doesn’t happen by default. To gain insights and understanding into the patterns that are no longer serving you well, To help clarify feelings and needs, define measurable goals, and develop strategies. Our first session should feel like a caring conversation. I place focus on understanding the conflict or crisis that brings you to therapy. I have a collaborative flexible communication style.

Painful feelings are not a sign of weakness nor, are they your fault. There is relief and, there is hope. Our first hour together is free. I do this because this time should only be for you. You should be the one to decide if you feel comfortable with us working together. Your level of comfort and openness is important to me. You should feel free to ask any questions you may have without feeling any pressure to get "something" done. In the past, most families have had the stability of living in one place with resources such as grandparents and lifelong friends. Now, we move, change jobs, and may have blended or single parent families. Our resources may no longer be there for us. Life's challenges can make us feel powerless, frustrated, depressed and isolated. These feelings can create anguish that feels tortuous, and at times unrelenting. Pushing them aside just doesn't seem to work anymore. Since these feelings are unseen, they are not easily understood. Unfortunately, we may think these feelings are a sign of weakness and we think we should be able to "just get over it." It takes strength and courage to reach out, ask for help, and commit to discovery and change. Life's challenges can cause feelings of hopelessness, sadness, and fear. Sometimes, it may seem these challenges are overwhelming. These feelings actually expose us to more illness and physical pain and also affects our judgment, decision making, and personal relationships. If you are reading this, then you are reading with hope. Hope with understanding and help, can bring you relief.

Are you in a relationship that you aren't sure is right for you? Do you find that you would like to be more connected to significant people in your life but find yourself struggling to create the intimacy you desire? It is human nature to want to be connected to other people, yet many of us put walls up and make that connection difficult. Or we may gravitate to relationships that are not healthy for us. We may continue with old habits that at some point served a purpose in our lives, but as we grow we find that the more we continue operating in the same patterns we get less of what we actually want in our relationships. I can help you identify patterns that keep you stuck and prevent you from connecting the way you would like to in your relationships. I can help you learn new ways of being in a relationship and connecting. If you are reading this you are aware that something you are doing is no longer working, something needs to change. Healing and growth are possible and you can have the relationships that you want. I view therapy as a process, a journey of discovery and learning. As your therapist I will be part of your journey by providing a nonjudgmental and supportive atmosphere. My goal is to create a safe space where you feel free to express your deepest concerns, thoughts and emotions. I believe that in order to move forward in our lives it is essential to deal with emotional pain, anxiety and stress we may be carrying. Therapy can help recognize and face unresolved pain and conflict that may be affecting you in negative ways. I believe that the client therapist relationship is the most important part of therapy. Through our relationship my hope is that you acquire an improved understanding of yourself and attain balance in your life. I can help you find the answers that lie within you. I have experience working with a wide range of issues including relationship issues, intimacy, motherhood, parenting, anxiety, life transitions, family conflicts & emotional concerns.

On the outside, your life looks fine – you show up and get things done. But inside, your days feel flat and heavy. Despite your capability, you feel disconnected. You move through work, relationships, and responsibilities on autopilot, carrying an undercurrent of tension you can’t quite name. You’ve tried pushing through and staying busy – anything to think or numb your way back into life. It helps briefly, but the emptiness returns. Somewhere deep down is the fear that this is just who you are now – that this is just a way of life now, and you can’t work your way out of it. What you want is to feel present and fully alive again. I work with people who adapted early to the world by staying composed, self-sufficient, and emotionally contained. Using attachment-informed and body-aware therapy, we identify the patterns that once protected you and gently expand your capacity to feel without becoming overwhelmed. This work helps you function while reconnecting with your inner experience. Over time, life feels more integrated and real. You stay competent without disappearing, notice stress instead of overriding it, and respond with choice rather than old survival habits. Relationships feel more authentic as you become grounded in your own life. You don’t have to unravel to reconnect with your emotions. Call now for a free consultation.

I help people who are feeling overwhelmed get back on track. I assist young adults anxious about work or life and who need support and tools to move ahead. Clients of all ages may be going through challenges or life transitions that show up as anxiety or depression or just feeling stuck. I also work with individuals and couples who are stuck in relationship patterns that no longer work for them. I’m knowledgeable about a variety of techniques such as cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-based therapy, but I use a variety of approaches to helping my clients. I’ve been in private practice in Atlanta for more than 30 years. I work out of comfortable and tranquil home office in the Virginia-Highland neighborhood; currently I'm working with clients via telehealth rather than in person. My clients find me engaged, supportive and nonjudgmental. Whether you’ve made use of counseling and therapy before or are seeking a counselor for the first time, I welcome questions you might have about working together. Let’s get started.

My name is Dr. Katina Pittman. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia with 16 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, and depression. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey. My therapeutic approach changes based on the needs of each client. Some of the approaches I use are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Person-Centered therapy. I believe that our thoughts, feelings, and behavior are connected. I work with individuals in identifying any underlying thoughts and expressing their feelings. Once we identify those thoughts the goal is to use cognitive restructuring to help replace those thoughts and improve feelings. I also educate on healthy self-care and coping skills to improve overall well-being. Clients who are struggling with problem-solving would be educated on effective problem-solving skills. I work primarily with adults who struggle with everyday life stressors such as financial concerns, relationship struggles, family issues, medical concerns, job concerns, or other concerns. I also work with those who are feeling depressed, anxious, struggle with low self-esteem or body image issues. My communication style involves actively listening, being nonjudgmental, validating, and being empathic. I ask a lot of open-ended questions to help clients truly explore their thoughts and emotions and gain insight into their behavior. The goal is to establish a relationship built on trust and mutual respect where clients feel supported and empowered. I always strive to create a positive and supportive environment when working with clients. I became a therapist because I have always had a desire to help others. I enjoy making a difference in the lives of others by helping people work through the challenges they face. My goal is to see individuals live healthier and happier lives. My approach to goal setting is to have clients identify the changes they want to make. I typically start by asking clients what brings them to therapy and what their main concerns are. Once we identify the goals we prioritize those goals to determine which goal the client wants to work on first, second, and so forth. Following this, we create smaller short-term goals to accomplish the bigger goal. This would be a collaborative process between myself and the client, one in which we review regularly to determine progress made towards reaching the goals. During the first session, we would go over informed consent and confidentiality. I complete an intake assessment so that I can get to know what is concerning each individual, their history, and their goals for counseling. My goal is to build a good therapeutic relationship with each client one that empowers and supports. I also educate clients further on my therapeutic approach during the first session.
