“I felt like Brittni really created a safe space for me. I’ve been to other therapists before but Brittni really made me feel comfortable and heard.”

“Bitini is by far the best therapist I have ever had the pleasure of working with. I met her at the lowest point in my life, and she has helped me with the tools needed to build myself back up. Bitini was open minded and non judgmental with me being a transgender man, going through a divorce, exploring polyamory, and work place harassment. She respects my pronouns and name. She is extremely intelligent, authentic, empowering, open minded, funny, and is honest. She will be straight up and tell you what it is, even if you don’t want to hear it. I would hands down, without any hesitation, recommend her to anyone. Absolutely the best!”

Getting to know Bitini Pannell
Bitini Pannell is a licensed Professional Counselor based in Texas with a passion for helping people overcome their traumas, depression, anxiety, stress, and mental health challenges. With over four years of experience in the field, Bitini is well-equipped to provide compassionate and effective care to those in need.
Bitini earned her Bachelor's degree in Psychology from the State University of New York at Buffalo and went on to complete her Master's degree in Counseling from Medaille University in New York. Throughout her academic career, Bitini gained a deep understanding of trauma and the ways in which it can impact a person's mental and emotional well-being. She was particularly drawn to the field of somatic therapy, which focuses on the body's physical response to trauma and stress.
After completing her education, Bitini began working as a counselor in a community mental health center, where she provided therapy to individuals with a wide range of mental health concerns. During this time, Bitini honed her skills in trauma therapy and somatic therapy, working closely with clients experiencing suicidality, mood disorders, personality disorders, and neurodivergence.
In her private practice, Bitini specializes in trauma therapy and somatic therapy, utilizing a holistic approach to treatment that takes into account both the mind and body. She works with clients who have experienced a variety of traumas, including childhood abuse, sexual assault, and domestic violence. Bitini understands that each client's experience is unique, and she tailors her approach to meet their individual needs.
In addition to her work with clients, Bitini is committed to ongoing professional development and stays up-to-date with the latest research and techniques in the field of trauma therapy. She is a member of several professional organizations, including the American Counseling Association and the Texas Counseling Association.
What should a new client know about working with you?
One of Bitini's primary goals as a therapist is to create a safe and supportive environment where clients can feel comfortable sharing their stories and emotions. She believes that the therapeutic relationship is essential to the healing process and works hard to establish trust and rapport with each of her clients.
You and Bitini work towards understanding the origins of maladaptive behavior patterns. Something happened to you so powerful that it altered your brains perception of the world and everyone in it. What happened? Why? What was your response? Once awareness is established you can expect to begin processing trauma and feeling improvements in mood and self-esteem.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
