Tysha Pittman
Hello. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in Florida. I earned my Master's Degree from Webster University and am currently a doctoral candidate pursuing a Ph.D. in General Psychology at Capella University. My topic of study is on perinatal experiences, so this is truly an interest for me. I have been in private practice for five years.
Additionallly, I had both of my daughters after the age of 35, a miscarriage, a severe bout of postpartum depression, and now in the midst of menopause; gives me a personal perspective to relate to my clients.
I support women who have experienced a variety of childbirth-related challenges, whether it's infertility, anxiety during pregnancy, fetal loss, and postpartum anxiety/depression.
First session
In our first session, we will give introductions, I will gather important information, and we will get into the concerns on your heart and mind. This will support me in creating a unique treatment plan for our therapy sessions to be beneficial and successful.
Strengths
My 21 years of experience working with children as an educator and school counselor have given me a strong foundation in compassion and patience. Over the past five years, I have worked with women seeking to conceive, and my training in perinatal mental health further ensures that clients are provided with a safe and informed environment during therapy. I incorporate compassion and laughter into sessions, fostering a personal and meaningful experience for each client.
Ideal clients
I have a passion for working with women who desire to experience the many facets of having a baby. My clients are in an emotional stage of their lives and are often filled with hopes and dreams of motherhood. Often they are overwhelmed with the reality of pregnancy and all the emotions that can come with it.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
For the past 15 years, I’ve had the joy of using CBT to help both children and adults discover and embrace their emotions. This empowering journey not only teaches individuals to accurately identify their feelings but also encourages open expression, creating deeper understanding and respect in their relationships. It’s truly rewarding to witness this growth!
Christian Counseling
Welcoming God’s word, the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and prayer during our sessions can significantly enhance the healing process for clients. By integrating these spiritual elements, we can foster profound healing in the mind, body, and spirit.
Culturally Sensitive Therapy
When clients include their cultural perspectives in the session, it significantly enhances engagement and fosters the respect they both seek and deserve.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Cultivating the ability to be present is an essential skill, and mindfulness empowers us to truly focus on the moment and recognize its beauty. By engaging in practices such as mindful breathing, eating, walking, or listening, we create space to reflect on what genuinely matters in our lives. Embracing mindfulness not only enhances our awareness but also enriches our experience, making it a vital practice for personal growth and fulfillment.Taking the time to be in the present is a skill and mindfulness presents the ability to concentrate on the moment and the beauty in it.
