Getting to know Tarawa Pitre-Whitfield
I believe that mental health is health. Taking care of your mental health is one of the most important lifelong pursuits you will ever have. I want to help you on your journey to a healthy mind. No matter how overwhelming these struggles may seem, we can work towards a better frame of mind. My counseling style is responsive. I take an eclectic, needs-based approach to addressing mental health. I don't believe there is only one way to address an issue. I am person-centered. I believe you cannot communicate with a mind in chaos. I will strive to initially level out any sense of unease or generalized dissatisfaction (dysphoria) you may be experiencing and then work to build a firm foundation. During our work together, you will have the opportunity to create a toolbox of skills and strategies to not just achieve a healthy and balanced mental state but to maintain it as well.
As for me, I have a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology, and a Master's in Professional Counseling from Texas Southern University. I also hold a Professional Counseling certificate and am a licensed Educator and School Counselor. I have been in public education for over 20 years, and in that time, I have had the opportunity to touch many lives. I have seen many successful mental health journeys as well as those that did not have the outcome they desired. My goal is to give you your best chance at a happy life. I have worked to become a knowledgeable practitioner of mental health, and I am excited about the opportunity to work with you to fulfill your goal of a healthy mental state.
