Great to meet you!

Hi, I’m Gitty. I’m a licensed therapist, parent educator, and the founder of NeuroWise Therapeutics, where I help children, adults, couples, and families better understand their minds, emotions, and relationships.

My speicalized training and experience is in OCD and general anxiety, as well as relationships for couples and families.

My greatest strength is helping people understand themselves in a way that feels clear, compassionate, and empowering. Over the years, I’ve intentionally focused my work on truly seeing challenges from each client’s perspective and breaking down complex emotional and brain-based patterns into simple, practical steps. When people understand why their thoughts, anxiety, or behaviors are happening, they no longer feel overwhelmed or “broken” — change starts to feel logical and achievable. My goal is always for clients to leave sessions feeling calmer, more confident, and equipped with tools they can actually use.

My approach to therapy

My work is grounded in the belief that people don’t need to be “fixed” — they need support, insight, and the right tools to feel confident and capable. I combine neuroscience, practical skills, and a warm, compassionate approach to help clients calm their nervous system, strengthen connection, and create meaningful, lasting change. My goal is always to help you feel empowered, understood, and more at home in yourself and your relationships.

What you can expect from me

Our first session is a chance for us to slow down and get to know each other in a comfortable, supportive space. I’ll listen carefully to your story, what’s been feeling hard lately, and what you’re hoping will change. Together, we’ll begin making sense of what you’re experiencing and how your brain, emotions, and relationships may be connected.

You can expect warmth, clarity, and practical next steps — not judgment or pressure. Most clients leave the first session already feeling understood, relieved, and with a few simple tools they can start using right away.
