Portia Witt, PhD, LCSW

I am a firm believer that there is hope for better days and a better you! I would be honored to walk alongside you on that journey. My unique approach to counseling has been referred to as refreshing and encouraging by past clients. Together we will work using a collaborative approach to identify your strengths and create an individualized solution focused path forward. It is vital for me to do this by building trust and creating a safe/nonjudgmental environment. During our sessions you will be able to release, fill your toolbox, and develop strategies to begin taking steps forward!
