Therapist / Tara Sen Pitt, LPC
I grew up in Houston as the daughter of a German mom and Indian (South Asian) dad. I am a 40-something year old mother of three. I went to Texas A&M University for undergrad and then to The University of Denver to obtain a Masters in Counseling Psychology in 1998, and now live in Austin. My favorite life experience was studying abroad in Italy and eating gelato every day. When I’m not in session, I love hiking, spin class, and traveling to Mexico.
I mostly do talk therapy, and also do EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and sand tray therapy for treatment of pain, trauma, anxiety, grief and loss. I work with all types of folks, especially moms, teens, and young adults. I have worked with teen moms, undocumented children traveling to our country, college students dealing with acculturation and careers, women who just gave birth, and people who have faced complex trauma and violence, among others. I like to work with other Asian Americans and “third culture kids,” who grow up in places that are not their parents’ homeland.
I also run a FREE online peer support group on Mondays at 12 called Mamas for Mamas. We are a place to feel accepted and heard around topics such as Baby Blues, Postpartum Depression and Anxiety. Send me a message on my Contact Me page if you’re interested in participating.
