Great to meet you!

Hello, My name is Telecia Rittiman. Helping people is a calling for me. I have often said I feel lucky to be paid for something so important to me. I earned my Bachelor'a Degree in Psychology from the University of Texas at San Antonio, where I was published in the Journal of Applied Social Psychology for research in AIDS. I earned my Master's Degree in Social Work in 1997 from the University of Houston.

A bit about my approach to therapy

Some of the training I've received has been in Grief and Bereavement Therapy, Stress Management, Anger Management, Mediation, Couples Counseling, Addictions, Setting Goals, End of Life Therapy and working with Adjustment Issues. My experience includes 12 years in a psychiatric hospital as a therapist and administrator, State director of Treatment and Recovery for a national non-profit, Employee Assistance Professional for the forth largest city in the US as well as private practice for 20 years.

What you can expect from our first session

Central to all of my sessions is respect, acceptance, and openness. I believe that therapy is a partnership. We will work together to reach your goals. Your ideas and contributions are central to achieving our success. I have experience in many evidence based therapeutic modalities. I believe one of the most effective to be a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. We all want to be our best self. I would be pleased to help you reach that goal.
