Licensed Psychologist
Dr. Shelby Kittinger
I believe the purpose of therapy is to create meaningful change that leads to a free and fulfilling life.
My approach balances compassion with challenge. Through compassion, we explore the grief, aches, and pain that have kept you from living fully. From there, we begin to challenge and face the deeply ingrained patterns shaping your emotions, relationships, and sense of identity.
We engage this work together so that you can emerge with a stronger sense of self-agency and acceptance, able to move forward and live well.
This philosophy is the foundation of Compassionate Collective and the heart of
Dr. Kittinger’s practice.
Individual Psychotherapy
Therapy can go deeper than managing symptoms. In our work together, we slow down to explore the patterns, emotions, and experiences that shape your life — so real, lasting change becomes possible.
Couples Therapy
Relationship struggles often run deeper than the argument in front of you. In couples therapy we work to understand the patterns pulling you apart — and rebuild the connection that brings you back together.
